Risotto De Bolets Salvatges (wild Mushroom Risotto)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 6 cups vegetable or mushroom broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms (such as chanterelles, porcini, or shiitake), cleaned and sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable or mushroom broth over low heat.
  2. In a separate large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.
  3. Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat the grains with the butter, onion, and garlic mixture.
  4. Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until the wine has been absorbed by the rice.
  5. Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next.
  6. After about 18-20 minutes, when the rice is al dente and creamy, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. While the risotto is cooking, in a separate pan, sauté the sliced wild mushrooms in a little butter until they are golden and tender.
  8. Serve the risotto in individual bowls, topped with the sautéed wild mushrooms and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
