Presenting the Mushroom Risotto Dish

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.

 

4. Add the rice to the pan and stir constantly for 2 more minutes. Turn up the heat and add the wine, letting the rice absorb it. Add about 1/3 of the warm stock at a time. 


5. Start adding the mushrooms into the risotto and stock. When it gets nice and creamy, add cheese and butter. Stir constantly until it is all absorbed.


6. Shut off the heat and add the parsley. Plate and serve.

Transcripts

Sal: Hi, I am Sal from, the chef of Pomodoro in Fairfax. We just finished up our mushroom risotto, as you can see right here. We are just going to talk a little bit about it. We actually serve it in a family style, but what you can do with it is actually, serve it individually, like separate the dish literally, add a little bit of grilled chicken to the side, and you saut some vegetables, and add that to this side. Thats a great party meal. Obviously, you are just going to want a little glass of wine on this side, and you could do a little white, or you could do a little red. I mean thats actually your call, your preference. I wouldnt do a beer, thats for sure, but the wine helps. All I can say is enjoy the dish. I mean thats one of my favorites. Bon Appetite.
