- 1 cup <a href="/JRGCDLJV">Arborio rice</a>
- 5 cup broth (homemade or store bought, <a href="/LCKLBW4B">vegetable,</a> <a href="/L8P58TMC">chicken)</a>
- 1 cup <a href="/5MCFTDL6">grated Parmesan cheese</a>
- 0.5 pound fresh <a href="/4WVBZCWM">Porcini mushrooms,</a> cut into bite size pieces
- 1 medium chopped <a href="/YCPMHNRB">onion</a>
- 3 tablespoon of <a href="/3XTHR638">butter</a>
- 3 tablespoon <a href="/RDCCKVJD">extra virgin olive oil</a>
- 1 clove of chopped <a href="/FQRPFPP6">garlic</a>
- 0.5 cup <a href="/Q67GD8BS">white wine</a>
- 0 Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Step 1
Put the butter and oil in a saucepan and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the rice and allow it to cook until it becomes opaque. Pour in the wine so that it just covers the rice. <a href="/DRM2WPZ4">Stir </a>and allow the rice to absorb the wine on a medium <a href="/XZFHRHHF">heat. </a><a href="/XZFHRHHF">Heat </a>the broth and begin to add it in by just keeping the rice covered with liquid. As soon as the rice absorbs the liquid, add a little more. <a href="/DRM2WPZ4">Stir </a>occasionally and continue this process until the rice is almost done. Add the mushrooms and allow them to cook in the rice for another 2-3 minutes. The entire cooking process takes about 20 minutes. Remove the rice from the stove and add the grated cheese, <a href="/DRM2WPZ4">stir </a>and add a little freshly <a href="/5YGQYH5K">ground </a>pepper.
Step 2
Note: Risotto cannot be leftover. It must be <a href="/Y6MVNCHX">served </a>immediately as the rice will absorb all the remaining liquid and it will be uneatable.
Step 3
Note: You <a href="/TPWNYF5L">can </a><a href="/W5QQLYTM">substitute </a>fresh Porcini with about 2 oz. <a href="/RF7SRX43">dried </a>Porcini mushrooms, which <a href="/TPWNYF5L">can </a>be found in the market. You would have to <a href="/NM2HN7TN">soak </a>them in tepid water for 30 minutes before using them. You <a href="/TPWNYF5L">can </a>add some of the hydrating liquid to the risotto giving it a more rich concentrated <a href="/PMQVQDJ8">flavor.</a>
