Your passion for your food honestly makes you the best KZbin cooking channel I've come across. Thank you for creating. Love from the UK 👏🏾

[@melissarose7327]

Agreed!

[@alecktra1]

I agree

[@juliabishop1408]

Amen

[@annabelgodwin4862]

Couldn’t agree more

[@Diggi556]

You can tell it's cooking and passion first, money comes second

[@dimesinger]

Wife made this last night and it was (is!) incredible. Instant comfort food, especially perfect for cold/cool nights. Flavor and texture are on point.

[@ef4947]

18 years in a kitchen this year, mainly Italian. You sir, are the first person I have ever seen toss risotto like that.

[@Brbgtgkms]

Same here hahaha tossing that risotto like some chicken stir fry in a wok😂😂

[@an7h0ny88]

I never cooked much in my life until I came home from a two month Italy trip where I enjoyed some of the best food of my life. It inspired me to start cooking more and I just recently discovered your channel and it's upped my game! My wife and I both thank you!

[@jessicaschofield1377]

My husband and I watch all your videos!!! We haven't missed one. Your truly talented and a great teacher. I've learned so much just from watching your videos .

[@meh-87]

Made this with honey and puffball mushrooms that were foraged yesterday. Amazing! One of the best lunches I've ever had.

[@mattiatorre6665]

Hi, as an Italian I must say (like basically all your other italian recipes) your technique is immaculate and the final product looks awesome!👏👏 Just a tip: to assure an even toasting (tostatura) of the rice, when I cook mushroom risotto I prefer to take out from the pot the diced onion and mushroom which as you did should be cooked first with butter/olive oil, so that you can avoid to slightly burn some pieces of them while toasting the rice (in the remaining butter/olive oil, or sometimes even with no fats at all, even if it becomes more difficult to manage); I add them back on after I deglaze the rice with the wine, since from that point on there will always be some liquid in the pot so they can't burn. As always, keep it up!

[@DogeUSA]

This time I have to say no. Way too much mascarpone. Not needed.

[@CookingJoeFoods]

That's a great idea as I've never made this dish, i was thinking about possibly burning the mushrooms and onions.

[@pyotrilyichtchaikovsky3733]

Do the rice first in the dry pan, do the onions and mushrooms until slightly less brown than desired, then add rice and brown everything evenly.

[@oilguy777]

@@pyotrilyichtchaikovsky3733 this is a cleaner process too

[@kmatter11]

This is great advice since last night I ended up slightly browning some of the rice when toasting which I was trying to avoid. Although, I will say that the risotto still turned out great and visually looked the same.

[@milk-it]

Nailed it. The truffle butter and mascarpone are the perfect amelioration to a mushroom risotto. Beautifully executed, too.

[@jonetxaniz783]

I’d seen mascarpone used as a substitute to the parmigiano+butter combo, never WITH them. But doubling up on the cheese cannot possibly be a bad idea, so I’ll give it a try!

[@BenEller]

Oh man, I am TOTALLY making this soon. The marscapone is such a great idea!

I love this guy and honestly I want to take one of his tours. He's straight forward, authentic and not arrogant. This best Italian, cooking chef on the internet

[@valentinritter9350]

Great Video! I can recommend to also use dried mushrooms to infuse the stock. Use the strained water you soaked the mushrooms in in the stock and and the mushrooms in with the rice. Also if you are looking for a lighter version, use Ricotta instead of Mascarpone. It’s less fatty and more fresh.

[@Avry1Eats]

Why not make a stock or design your umami essence?

[@carolyns6434]

I made this last night ! Amazing ! So flavorful ! I messed up a few steps and the recipe was very forgiving. Do not skip out on the roasted mushroom topping just a fantastic addition excited to make other risottos now thank you Steve !!! You’re the best !!! 😋

[@Ena48145]

Stephen, I'm so glad to find your video again. My mom requested a shrimp scampi risotto (requires garlic) for mother's day dinner, and while I am very confident in my cooking skills, I never follow recipes, but I've also never made risotto. Making rice alone scares me and I always rely on my rice cooker, but watching your video made me feel better! The recipe she gave me looked so simple, but I've seen so many people whose risotto just didn't turn out through so many comments. It seemed like they just winged it, dumped too much liquid in at once, messed some type of measurement up, etc. I'm so excited to make this now.

[@Kayla_Kimbrell]

This is the kind of rice dish I crave when I'm sick. Starchy, creamy, flavorful. Soul stickingly warming.

[@schafer2684]

I followed your recipe to make this last night and it was probably the best risotto I've made (I've done more than a dozen). My wife and son agreed. Super creamy and luxurious from the mascarpone, as you promised. I'd suggest prewarming the serving plate if you use a shallow plate like you showed, to prevent rapid cooling. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

[@4578simonhi]

Absolute classic, I cannot say just how much I love risotto. Ever since going to a back street restaurant in Siena ten years ago, I had a risotto of pear and Gorgonzola, finished with walnuts and a glass of ice cold house white wine. The best 7 euros I ever spent and one of my top five favourite meals. My wife loves honeyed and thyme pork chipolatta sausages with peas and lemon thyme. The one thing that makes the biggest difference for me is whipping in small cubes of fridge cold butter to emulsify into the sauce, then do the same with the parmigianno. Then … put a lid on it and wait for five minutes. Bella

[@jasonreid611]

Made this…followed the recipe except I had a different Arborio rice. amazing how much flavour the mushroom stems bring to the stock. Loved it. Great video.

[@CookingJoeFoods]

Dude, when you were new... I knew you were something special. Here we are a few years later and I'm still in awe. How you narrate amazes me. Your cooking techniques showcasing as you walk us through exactly your thoughts during the cook. I appreciate you more than you know, keep up the great work.

[@perotinofhackensack2064]

You know, I have to both agree with you, yes. But I also have to say that I find it very interesting that Steve has almost no presence in the comments section. I think I must follow au least 10-15 other cooks, ranging from less to more subscribers. They all seem to muster some interaction. I can't remember any recent time where he's bothered to really develop a communication with people taking the time to share their thoughts. Not a complaint, just an observation for an area for definite improvement.

[@christianfeise125]

"A wave of cascading starch". Gotta love that enthusiasm 🥰

[@TheSemperClan]

I just did this marscarpone trick in my mushroom risotto today and oh my gosh best risotto ive ever eaten seriously great idea thank you

[@parsnipproductions8875]

This is the best recipe idea / execution I’ve seen explained well in awhile

[@boblet132tx]

I’ve got a dope winter mushroom risotto I make all the the time but I love some of these extra steps. I’m definitely going to use this recipe thankyou sir. Keep it up x

[@teamflowerninja]

I never thought of using Mascarpone in my risottos! Another amazing video and recipe Stephen! Been following you since sub 100k followers and it’s been so awesome to see a fellow foodie share their love for food and help others discover a love for cooking and food as well!

[@carltonokill2732]

Awesome dude 👍 😎 I made this dish and it was great. I've made your shrimp scampi and added scallops, beef stock used for French onion soup, next week is penne a la vodka and lobster risotto. I've taught my sons how to make my special pasta... grilled chicken on top of pasta with melted Brie, diced san Manzano tomatoes, fresh basil and pressed garlic in olive oil with salt and fresh ground pepper. Goes great with Pinot Grigio! I'd like to see how you make it. Keep doing what you do!!

[@seraph8672]

This looks pretty dope! I love making risotto in the instant pot so I want to try it your way with secret ingredient. When I do it, I sautee whatever mushrooms I can get but I like to use shitake and portabella with onions (I agree the smaller the better!) and garlic(I use garlic in everything lol) in a little butter and white wine in the bottom of the instant pot. Once that's all cooked up and gorgeous, I drop two cups of the arborio rice right in there dry and stir it around so it absorbs all that goodness, and then 4 cups of stock, put that bad boy on pressure cook HIGH for 6 minutes, turn it OFF and let it stand for 10, then release the pressure, and boom, you CANNOT mess it up that way. Then a sprinkle of Pecorino Romano on top and it's not too bad. I don't think its as nice as yours, but for the less skilled in the kitchen like me.... It's a safe dinner recipe that I know won't disappoint. Funny story, I made some last week and did not have white wine on hand, I only had Cab Sav, so I said F it and tried it anyway and it was still good, if not a little dark.

[@Ena48145]

Risotto? In a pressure cooker? Blasphemy. Just kidding Stephen, I'm wishing I had one right now. My mom requested shrimp risotto for mother's day, and while I'm an extremely confident home cook, something about rice and ESPECIALLY arborio terrifies me. Luckily I have a rice cooker but no pressure cooker 😭 wish me luck!!

[@polarbearal]

Oooh I’ve been hoping for a good mushroom risotto recipe for morel season this year. Thank you!

[@anettenordenstrom-dz5nb]

The secret ingredient is love! And a lot of rice of course.

[@phill3583]

I just received my Made-In saucier. I christened it with this dish. Bravissimo!

[@olgothier]

I just cooked this and it tastes fantastic. Thank you for this!

[@Elektero]

Mascarpone is acid cream. So basically is acid butter. It makes the risotto creamy, but also flat out flavours. I think you can make it creamy by using "energic mixing" diring mantecatura. In my opinion you are levelling up the risotto by using vialone nano, thatìs a great rice. Regarding mushrooms: italian classic is porcino, but in italy there is also cardoncello which is very similar to shitake as texture and flavour.

[@theflurgmancometh]

I've made mushroom risotto quite a few times but never with mascarpone cheese. Can't wait to try this!

[@mactimo333]

Thanks for introducing new pastas and rice varieties. Love your show, the food and style but I do appreciate new items to try on special occasions.

Love it! Thank you so much for all of your work, your show is top 1 on YT.

[@uwsgeo]

THANK YOU for mixing your shrooms, oil and herbs in a damn BOWL before adding them to a baking sheet. I'm tired of watching "cooks" toss everything on a flat sheet, flinging half of the stuff onto the counter. Also, I love mushroom risotto, and you showed me some really amazing options (like roasting shrooms). I already finish mine with truffle salt and butter, but I'm going to try truffle butter! Lastly, I usually throw a cube of fontina in at the end, but I think mascarpone is a smarter option. Will try soon!

[@sms9106]

Just made this pretty much verbatim and is was FANTASTIC. thank you for a great recipe

[@gerrybgood3125]

Wow, that looks really good. I've never made Risotto before but with your excellent teaching skills it's one I'm going to try.

[@jdalbiac]

Mascarpone is underrated, goes great in a tomato soup. I also have made supremely creamy risotto by using a hit of ricotta at the end

[@englishsteve1465]

Yep, don't be shy with that mascarpone now 😀 I make one with a nice quality,salty air dried ham and mushroom or garden peas or sweetcorn. Risotto has a thousand variations and it's soooo easy.

[@josethemexican24]

[@alexkasianenko8022]

I cooked your red wine risotto a little bit more than over a year ago since it seemed so different to me from all other risotto variations and I have to say that mascarpone cheese really does make a difference! Cheers Stephen, want me a nice plate of risotto now!

[@njitir32]

Made this dish the other day but did not pay attention to the marscapone. Bought espresso marscapone but said oh well, end result actually was good. Hint of espresso with shrooms and cheese actually worked

[@tracye1866]

Holy moly! That sounds INSANE!!!

[@JustBigL66]

another way you can easily achieve extreme creaminess is to use pre-grated cheese since its coated in starch to prevent it from sticking. but im definitely gonna try this mascarpone trick in the future.. looks delicious like always =)

[@JustBigL66]

p.s.: pre-grated cheese in addition to parmesan ofc

[@Mlopes1983]

Tutorial was easy to follow and the risotto recipe was absolutely delicious. Thank You.

[@adrianniechcia2579]

The risotto prepared according to this recipe is great even if one uses a vegetarian stock and only common "cremini" mushrooms available on a daily basis here in Poland (pieczarki) and with use of a dried thyme. Thank you!

[@ukgroucho]

Very nice! I do make Risotto when I've found the time to make chicken stock from a roast chicken leftovers i nay pressure cooker. I always include mushrooms - although I usually fry them slowly in olive oil and butter for 25 to 30 minutes. The marscapone touch is nice, I have added some spare creme freche in the past and that works well.

[@EmeraldSnows1019]

Risotto is ma JAM. This looks insanely delicious.

[@paulwagner688]

So. Many. Mushrooms. I'm drooling. Stephen, I love your channel just to see the technique taught, and the passion. "Go Feed Yourself" is so apropos.

I have never seen shitaake mushrooms in an Italian dish - you typically find them in asian dishes. If you don't mind spending a bit more on mushrooms, I highly recommend finding some chanterelles, hen of the woods, hedgehog, and trumpet mushrooms. If you really want to splurge, porcinis and morels are THE BEST.
