Creamy Italian Comfort Food Made EasyThere's nothing quite like a bowl of homemade Mushroom Risotto. Rich, creamy, and full of earthy flavor.
Ingredients
-
1½ cups Curtiriso Arborio Rice
-
5 cups warm chicken or vegetable broth
-
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small shallot, finely diced
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup dry white wine (optional)
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Warm the broth in a saucepan over low heat and keep it hot throughout cooking.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 5–6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.
In the same pan, melt the remaining butter and sauté the shallot until soft.
Add the Curtiriso Arborio Rice and stir for 2 minutes to lightly toast the grains.
Pour in the white wine and cook until almost completely absorbed.
Add one ladle of warm broth at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until most of the liquid has been absorbed before adding more broth.
Continue cooking for about 18–20 minutes, until the rice is creamy and al dente.
Stir the mushrooms back into the risotto along with the grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
Season with salt and black pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
