Mushroom stock and vegetable stock are now available in 1 quart paper containers in the soup aisle at the market. They are both rich and deep in color. These stocks are necessary for the preparation of this dish.

Ingredients

Directions

Place dried porcinis and stock or broth in a saucepan and bring stock to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer.

In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium to medium high heat. Add shallots and saute 2 minutes. Add arborio rice and saute, 2 or 3 minutes more. Add Sherry and cook the liquid completely absorbed. Add several ladles of hot stock or broth and reduce heat slightly. Simmer, stirring frequently until liquid is absorbed.

Remove mushrooms from water and reserve cooking liquid. Coarsely chop the porcinis and add them to the rice. Continue to ladle broth into arborio, half the remaining amount at a time. Stir mixture each time you add broth and remove from heat when the rice is cooked to al dente. Cool and store any remaining liquids if there are any.

The ideal total cooking time for perfect risotto is 22 minutes. The consistency should be creamy.

Stir in thyme and a few handfuls of grated cheese. Season your risotto with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve creamy mushroom risotto from the hot pan with warm, crusty whole grain breads.

    For my first attempt at risotto, this was YUMMO'S! However, I did add a clove of minced garlic once the onions had a nice start on the 2 minute saute.
    No sherry, so sub'ed w/ wine.
    Porcinis were not accessible in Canada's great northern wilderness, so had to use the standard white mushroom.
    And used chicken stock vs. mushroom stock.
    Will make this over and over again.

    This was a wonderful and easy recipe for risotto. However, when I went to the grocery store for porcinis, they were rather on the expensive side. So, I bought a couple of packages of portabello mushrooms, chopped them up, and added them to the cooking liquid (broth. I let them cook in the broth on low to not only flavor the broth, but to cook the mushrooms as well. Drained the mushrooms and added them to the sauteed rice and then began the gradual process of adding the cooking liquid to the pan. It turned out beautifully and it was alot more economical!

    If you cook risotto at too high a heat, the liquid doesn't have time to absorb and it actually takes LONGER to cook than if you have patience and let it simmer. Plus, the liquid will actually evaporate rather than soften the rice, so cooking it too quickly completely defeats the purpose--you're just ruining it. And you have to stir--a whole bunch--but if the heat is at the right temperature it can be left alone for a moment or two to work on other dishes. I use fresh mushrooms in this, and most of the time I use vegetable stock, but if you have nothing but chicken stock, it will do in a pinch.
