Porcini And Parmesan Risotto Recipes

TRUE ITALIAN PORCINI MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Place porcini mushrooms in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak until soft, about 1 hour. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. Squeeze mushrooms to remove excess water and roughly chop.
• Bring beef stock to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic cloves; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Discard garlic cloves; pour in 1/2 cup wine. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer until wine reduces, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil with 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir shallot until soft, about 3 minutes. Cook and stir Arborio rice until toasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Pour in remaining 1/2 cup wine. Simmer until wine is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
• Ladle 1/3 of the warm stock into the saucepan; cook and stir until absorbed. Ladle in remaining stock and reserved soaking liquid in small amounts and cook, stirring constantly, until risotto is tender and creamy, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove risotto from the heat; stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and Parmesan cheese. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

PORCINI AND PARMESAN RISOTTO

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine broth, porcini, and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; cook until porcini are tender, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, remove porcini; coarsely chop. To keep broth warm, reduce heat to low, and cover.
• In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. Add fresh mushrooms and chopped porcini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and 1 tablespoon butter to saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add rice, and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add wine, and cook, stirring, until absorbed, 1 minute.
• Add 2 cups of warm broth to rice mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until absorbed, 4 to 5 minutes. Continue to add broth, by cupfuls, stirring occasionally and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more, untilrice is al dente, about 25 minutes total (you may not need all the broth).
• Remove risotto from heat. Stir in Parmesan, remaining tablespoon butter, and half the sauteed mushrooms;season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining mushrooms, and serve immediately, garnished with more Parmesan.

PORCINI AND CHANTERELLE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Warm a wide large heavy-bottomed pan over a medium-low flame. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter and melt together. Add shallots and cook for 2 minutes, or until translucent, and then toss the mushrooms, thyme, and bay leaf into the pan. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and begin to turn golden brown.
• Pour 1 cup of the wine into the pan, and bring the liquid to a simmer, allowing the wine to evaporate. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are dry, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove mushrooms from the pan and set aside. Discard the bay leaf.
• Reduce the flame to low, and add the remaining butter and oil to the pan and melt. Stir in the rice and coat with the oil until the kernels are shiny, about 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the remaining 1 cup of white wine and let evaporate.
• Add the chicken broth, 1 ladle at a time, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid. Do not add too quickly so as to prevent the kernels from exploding. Stir over a gentle flame until each ladle of the liquid is absorbed. Repeat until most of the broth is incorporated and the risotto rice is al dente, about 25 minutes.
• Fold the mushrooms back into the rice and season with salt, pepper and parsley. Stir in the Parmesan and finish with slices of white truffle, if available. Serve immediately.
• Put the chicken, vegetables, and giblets in a large stockpot over medium heat. Pour in enough cold water to cover by 1 inch (about 3 quarts); too much water will make the broth taste weak. Toss in the herbs and peppercorns and allow it to slowly come to a boil. Reduce the heat and gently simmer for 1 hour, uncovered, until the chicken is done. As the stock cooks, skim any impurities that rise to the surface; add a little more water, if necessary, to keep the chicken covered while simmering.
• Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board. When it is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones; hand-shred the meat into a storage container and reserve for soups and salads.
• Strain the stock into another pot through a fine sieve or a strainer lined with cheesecloth to remove excess fat and the vegetable solids. Use the stock immediately, or if you plan on storing it, place the pot in a sink full of ice water and stir to cool down the stock. Transfer to a storage container, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 6 months.

PORCINI RISOTTO

Steps:

• Wipe the fresh mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Break into bitesized pieces and reserve. Soak dried porcini in enough boiling water to cover for about 1/2 hour, or until pliable. Drain them, reserving the soaking liquid, and rinse mushrooms under running water. Chop into bitesized pieces and add to fresh mushrooms. Strain soaking liquid, add to stock and set aside.
• Heat oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium low heat. Cook onions with salt and pepper until soft and translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until aroma is released, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and saute until golden. Add brandy, turn heat to high, and scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to release brown bits.
• Light alcohol with a match. When flame subsides, add rice and saute until slightly colored, about 1 minute. Add bay leaves and 1/2 cup stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until near dry.
• Once the liquid is evaporated, briefly saute rice. Then, add stock 1/2 cup at a time, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon until absorbed. Repeat procedure, stirring constantly and briefly sauteing between additions, until all stock has been absorbed. You must constantly stir while cooking rice. When done, the rice should be glazed outside and soft throughout. It takes approximately 20 minutes to add all the stock. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

PORCINI RISOTTO

Steps:

• Soak dried porcini in 3 cups water until rehydrated, about an hour. Strain the mushrooms, reserving the broth for the risotto. (Discard the last 1/2 inch of the liquid; it will contain dirt from the porcini.) Roughly chop the mushrooms, then set aside. When you're ready, heat the chicken stock and mushroom broth to a simmer.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; add onion and season with salt and pepper; add garlic and cook until slightly translucent. Add rice and stir to coat with the oil; season with salt and pepper and cook until slightly translucent. Add wine and stir until almost all the liquid has cooked off. Add hot stock and broth mixture, a ladleful at a time, completely stirring in the liquid each time. Keep adding broth as needed so there is always a 1/4-inch liquid layer over the rice.
• After 15 to 20 minutes, the rice should be close to al dente. Add the mushrooms, then the sage (leaving some for garnish), stirring vigorously. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat and stir in butter, then cheese. Serve immediately.
• To serve, spoon into shallow bowls, shave some Parmesan on top, then garnish with remaining sage.

PORCINI MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Place the water in a large pot and bring to the boil. Add the dried mushrooms and simmer continuously. Meanwhile, in another large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over a medium heat before adding the onion. Stir constantly until onions start to caramelise. Add the garlic, stirring for a further minute. Add the arborio rice, combining well with the onion and garlic.
• Keep the pot of rice over a medium heat. Add the mushroom "stock" one ladle at a time to the rice, waiting until it has been absorbed before adding another spoon full. It should slowly start to become more plump and creamy. Keep testing as you go to see if it is aldente towards the end, continueing stirring until the rice is cooked. If the rice is still undercooked, add a splash of water.
• When the rice is cooked, stir in the mushrooms and the parmesan. Season to taste, cover and leave for a few mins so that the rice can take up any excess liquid. It should be oozy so add a little more water if not. To serve, spoon into bowls and top with more parmesan.
