Mushroom Risotto Recipe
Serves 4 to 6
Prep Time: 30 to 40 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
2 cups boiling water
6 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
¼ cup olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 medium Spanish onion, minced
1 pound white button mushrooms, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
2 cups Arborio rice
⅓ cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc
Kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅔ cup (about 3 ounces) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
Directions:
Put the mushrooms in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them
Let soak for 30 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushrooms to a cutting board. You should have 2 cups of mushroom soaking liquid; if not, add enough water to make 2 cups. Coarsely chop the mushrooms and set aside.
Strain the mushroom soaking liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a small pot. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat until shimmering, almost smoking. Add the garlic and saute until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt, raise the heat slightly, and cook, stirring, until they give up their liquid and begin to dry, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Heat a large, wide, heavy pot over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and heat until it is shimmering, almost smoking.
Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon to coat the rice and continue cooking until the rice is opaque in the center, about 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup of wine, which should hiss on contact, and stir until it is absorbed by the rice, about 2 minutes. Pour in the remaining cup of wine and continue to cook, stirring, until it is absorbed by the rice, about 2 more minutes.
Ladle in ½ cup of simmering stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until all stock has been absorbed. Continue to add stock in approximately half-cup increments, just enough to completely moisten the rice, and cook, stirring vigorously until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Continue to add stock in the same manner, cooking and stirring and adding the next half cup only after the prior one has been completely absorbed. After about 16 minutes, begin adding the stock more judiciously, a little at a time, until the rice is creamy but still pleasantly al dente. (The best way to be sure is to try a few grains.) Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, with salt and/or pepper.
Divide the risotto among 4 to 6 plates and serve, passing extra cheese for topping the rice.

[@Chris.starfleet]

I once made risotto and I followed the recipe to the letter but I up-scaled it.. It was a resounding success. But it was a lot of work because I made a huge quantity. It took me a damn while to get the rice soft.

[@lovepilapil6342]

[@Randoverse]

Nice chicken Risotto.

[@adriennephilips5434]

SOLD!!! New sub and already binge watching! Have you ever done a mirror cake? I'd love to try one of those, but I only trust you to teach me? Also this is a basic question, but do you whip egg whites before you put it in the cake or just drop them in as is?

[@smash_bash]

Yeah cakehouse 👌🏼👌🏼

[@CakehouseOfficial]

There you are, my friend

[@blueberrys7165]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@prindaw3530]

He looks like Charles Boyle from Brooklyn99

[@lukemcnicholas3414]

Buddy , you could’ve used the mushroom juices as your stock , saving money , time and energy

[@CakehouseOfficial]

He did!

[@CakehouseOfficial]

Plus chicken stock, too!

[@haydeeorihuelahinostroza2978]

Sr buddy por favor en español me gusta su receta pero no entiendo ingles

[@moddkilla]

I made risotto the other night but it took me 40 minutes. Problem I see is my pan wasn’t nearly as hot as he has it here.

[@TheReReRetard]

We have some risotto. Its not risotto until its done being cooked. And where is the fondant?

[@bertamkrtchyan9416]

Can we do it without mushrooms?

[@aris1956]

Berta Mkrtchyan Of course.... there are a lot of types of risotto ! You can do for example "Risotto alla Milanese" with saffron . Search on KZbin Risotto alla milanese. Greetings from Italy ! :-)

[@CakehouseOfficial]

Yes!

[@bertamkrtchyan9416]

Aris1956 Thank you for advice 😊😊🤗

[@aris1956]

Alla fine, insieme al parmigiano, hai dimenticato una noce di burro . ;-)

the written recipe does not match what Buddy does in the video. Please fix

[@chriszarganis774]

no butter in the end?? just cheese???

[@SaraSara-in4un]

عجبتني الوصفه اعملها لكن اكيد بدون مرق لحم الخنزير ونبيذ الابيض 😅 لان نحن اسلام

[@pollypinit]

Can you challenge Gordon Ramsay?!

[@shanjeans2003]

B

[@andrews9615]

As a chef, why would you put the garlic in first? Garlic only needs to cook off for a few minutes. The mushrooms need longer... why let the garlic burn?

[@blueberrys7165]

Y u m

[@andrews9615]

7:17 Parmesan with cheese? Stick to cakes.

[@woozynen]

Parmigiano is the Italian name for a specific Parmesan, the Reggiano. Get your facts straight before you start hating

[@Rajul_Jamil]

It's too thick, it shouldn't stand up like a mountain but should spread nicely in its cream.

[@rosechia6058]

The backgrown music is terrible 😮 the recipe is perfect

[@roderickwarjri1063]

Why don't you just use the chicken stock instead of hot water

[@luca645]

This is a Food dog in italy ... the risotto are creamy.... sorry bus this is not italy kitchen

[@CakehouseOfficial]

what is a food dog?

[@carmelareina3751]

No tra lui e la moglie ha mettere sempre l'aglio ma in tutto lo mettono?👎👎👎👎

[@user-hr9kc3lk5b]

The recipe and the video don’t match up. Please revise. You have beginners following this

[@francescosacco3701]

quel risotto solo a guardarlo fa schifo lo puoi usare come calce dove attaccarci sopra un mattone prima della mantecazione il risotto va lasciato riposare, la cucina italiana non fa per te

[@darrenharris9335]

Turn off that god damn music!!
