Mushroom Risotto Ingredients

Ingredients

Flat leaf parsley
Grana Parmigiano grated
Salt
Ground black pepper
1 clove of garlic
1 whole white onion
5 tablespoons of unsalted butter
2 cups of Arborio rice
3 1/2 cups of fresh chicken stock
1 pound of fresh porcini mushrooms

Instructions

1. Dice the onion and prep the parsley and place them both in bowls. Mince the garlic and prepare the mushrooms.


2. Add olive oil to a pan along with 2 tablespoons of butter. Lightly brown the mushrooms in the pan. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top.


3. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and unsalted butter to another pan. Place the diced onions in it and sweat them. Add the crushed garlic and stir. Remove the garlic after two minutes.
