Italian Risotto with mushroom: unforgetable!
Posted by Claudia | |
The authentic Italian-style risotto is a very slow way of cooking rice! It should be slightly al dente, and it takes a lot to melt all the ingredients together but it is really worthy for your mouth to wait for such a masterpiece.
Let’s start to gather the ingredients on your kitchen table. You will need:
- 1 – 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup white wine
- Chicken broth (a pan)
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 pound mushrooms
- 1 pound white mushrooms
- 2 shallots
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Is it everything on the table? Well we can now start! Here is your detailed directions:
- In a saucepan, warm the broth you have already made over low heat.
- You shoud warm up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the chopped mushrooms, and cook until soft (ca. 3 minutes). Remove the mushrooms and their liquid, and put aside.
- Add one tablespoon olive oil and stir in the shallots and after one minute add the rice, stirring with oil, ca. 2 minutes. When the rice has turned to a golden color, quickly pour in the wine.
- Remeber to stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed by the rice!
- Add slowly half a cup of broth to the rice; then stir until the broth is absorbed. You wll repeat this operation until the rice is al dente, ca. 15 -20 minutes max.
- Now you can removeyour risotto from the heat, andyou will stir in the mushrooms together with their liquid. Add the butter, the chives, and to top it all a lovely spread of Parmesan cheese. Season abit with salt and pepper, and taste it!
