Ingredients

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 3/4 cup (3 ounces) Gorgonzola, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring the stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the porcini mushrooms. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside for 30 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms and set aside.

Reheat the stock to a simmer and keep warm over low heat.

In a large, heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook until the onions are tender but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat with the butter. Add the wine and simmer until the wine has almost evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of warm stock and stir until almost completely absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue with remaining stock, adding 1/2 cup at a time, and allowing each addition to be absorbed, until the rice is tender to the bite and the mixture is creamy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan, Gorgonzola, chives, salt and pepper. Transfer the risotto to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.

    This risotto was okay but way too cheesy for my taste and I LOVE Gorgonzola cheese but it's a very strong cheese so 3/4 cup of Gorgonzola was just too much, it was all I tasted in the risotto. I was hoping it would taste more "mushroomy". I think I'll look for a different mushroom risotto recipe rather than make this one again but if you do make it, I would add the Gorgonzola 1/4 cup at a time and taste before adding more because as the recipe is written it is just too overpowering.

    Saw the episode yesterday, could not stop thinking about it and made it tonight, Amazing!!!the only variation I made was to use dried wild mushrooms not straight porcini. I paired it with a glass of Rousanne a white wine which combined was fantastic. can't wait for my left overs at work tomorrow, unfortunately the wine won't be there;
