Risotto Ai Funghi E Tartufo Saporito (savory Mushroom And Truffle Risotto)
Risotto ai Funghi e Tartufo Saporito, or Savory Mushroom and Truffle Risotto, is a classic dish from the Mantuan cuisine, known for its rich and earthy flavors. This creamy and indulgent risotto is perfect for a special dinner or a cozy night in.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), sliced
- 2 tbsp truffle oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat.
- In a separate large pan, heat the olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.
- Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat the rice with the oil and butter. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and cook until it has evaporated.
- Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 20 minutes.
- While the risotto is cooking, in another pan, heat the remaining butter and sauté the mixed mushrooms until they are golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the risotto is ready, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, truffle oil, and sautéed mushrooms. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Let the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of truffle oil if desired.
