Mushroom And Pepper Risotto Recipes

MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until onion is tender and garlic is lightly browned. Remove garlic, and stir in the parsley, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook until celery is tender, then add the mushrooms. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft.
• Pour the milk and cream into the skillet, and stir in the rice. Heat to a simmer. Stir the vegetable stock into the rice one cup at a time, until it is absorbed.
• When the rice has finished cooking, stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese, and remove from heat. Serve hot.

MUSHROOM AND PEPPER RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and leek, and then stir frequently until they appear transparent. Add the pepper and keep cooking. Finally add the rice and continue stirring until it looks clear. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour in the wine and let boil until it reduces. Begin adding ladles of broth, lightly covering each time and stirring constantly until it has evaporated. Add more and continue doing this until the rice is al dente, about 20-25 minutes.
• Separately, heat the rest of the oil in a saucepan. Sauté the garlic and when it begins to give off an aroma add the mushrooms and sauté until they're cooked. Season with salt and pepper and finally add the chopped parsley. Pour the mushrooms into the risotto.
• To serve, add the micromix of lettuce or baby arugula over each portion of risotto and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

RED PEPPER RISOTTO

Steps:

• Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan, with a ladle nearby. Season generously with salt.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the onions or shallots. Cook gently until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, peppers, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the peppers are limp and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the rice and stir over medium heat until the grains are separate and beginning to crackle, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the wine and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. You want some of the flavor to cook into the rice before it evaporates. When the wine has just about evaporated, stir in a ladleful or two of the simmering stock (about 1/2 cup), enough to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly (adjust heat accordingly). Rub the saffron threads between your fingers and add to the rice. Cook, stirring often, until the stock is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock and continue to cook in this fashion, not too fast and not too slowly, stirring often and adding more stock when the rice is almost dry, for 25 minutes, until the rice is cooked through but still a little chewy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• When the rice is cooked through, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and stir in another half cup of stock, the Parmesan and the herbs. Remove from the heat. The rice should be creamy; if it isn't, add a little more stock. Stir once, taste and adjust seasonings, and serve.

MUSHROOM AND PEA RISOTTO

Steps:

• Bring regular and low-sodium vegetable broth to a slow boil in a medium pot over medium heat. Reduce heat slightly and keep warm.
• Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add cremini and shiitake mushrooms, fresh and dried thyme, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook and stir until mushrooms have released their liquid and caramelized a bit, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a plate and set aside.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and return to the heat to melt. Add Arborio rice and stir until rice gives off a toasty smell and appears a little paler in color, about 2 minutes. Add bay leaf, pour in wine, and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
• Use a ladle to scoop some hot broth into the skillet. Cook and stir until all liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes, before adding another ladle of broth. Continue this process until risotto is just about finished, about 15 minutes. With the final ladle of broth, add frozen peas and return cooked vegetables to the pan.
• Remove from the heat once the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, yet firm to the bite. Stir in Pecorino Romano cheese and parsley. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

MUSHROOM AND SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring chicken broth to a boil over medium heat. Add rice, reduce heat, and simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and saute until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving any garlic and juices in the skillet.
• Saute mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and garlic in the same skillet until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add remaining 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper.
• Stir shrimp and risotto into the vegetable mixture. Transfer to a 9x13-inch pan, top with Parmesan cheese, and cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Put 50g dried porcini mushrooms into a large bowl and pour over 1 litre boiling water. Soak for 20 mins, then drain into a bowl, discarding the last few tbsp of liquid left in the bowl.
• Crumble 1 vegetable stock cube into the mushroom liquid, then squeeze the mushrooms gently to remove any liquid.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium flame. Add 1 finely chopped onion and 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, then fry for about 5 mins until soft.
• Stir in 250g chopped chestnut mushrooms and the dried mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for 8 mins until the fresh mushrooms have softened.
• Tip 300g risotto rice into the pan and cook for 1 min. Pour over a 175ml glass of white wine and let it bubble to nothing so the alcohol evaporates.
• Keep the pan over a medium heat and pour in a quarter of the mushroom stock. Simmer the rice, stirring often, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
• Add about the same amount of stock again and continue to simmer and stir - it should start to become creamy, plump and tender. By the time the final quarter of stock is added, the rice should be almost cooked.
• Continue stirring until the rice is cooked. If the rice is still undercooked, add a splash of water. Take the pan off the heat, add 25g butter and scatter over 25g grated parmesan or Grana Padano cheese and half a handful of chopped parsley leaves.
• Cover and leave for a few mins so that the rice can take up any excess liquid as it cools a bit. Give the risotto a final stir, spoon into bowls and scatter with the remaining 25g grated cheese and the remaining chopped parsley leaves.
