Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken broth, low sodium
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 onion, diced, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced, divided
- 1 pound fresh portobello and crimini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
- 1-ounce dried porcini mushrooms, wiped of grit
- 2 cups Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
- Fresh Italian parsley, for garnish
Directions
Heat the chicken broth in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 onion and 1 clove garlic, cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the fresh mushrooms, herbs and butter. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes until lightly browned, season with salt and pepper. Drizzle in truffle oil then add the dried porcini mushrooms which were reconstituted in1 cup of warm chicken broth. Season again with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Saute 1 minute then remove from heat and set aside.
Coat a saucepan with remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Saute the remaining 1/2 onion and garlic clove. Add the rice and stir quickly until it is well-coated and opaque, 1 minute. This step cooks the starchy coating and prevents the grains from sticking. Stir in wine and cook until it is nearly all evaporated.
Now, with a ladle, add 1 cup of the warm broth and cook, stirring, until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Add the remaining broth, 1 cup at a time. Continue to cook and stir, allowing the rice to absorb each addition of broth before adding more. The risotto should be slightly firm and creamy, not mushy. Transfer the mushrooms to the rice mixture. Stir in Parmesan cheese, cook briefly until melted. Top with a drizzle of truffle oil and chopped parsley before serving.

This was my first attempt making risotto from scratch. It wasn't as long or labor-intensive as I thought home-made risotto would be. I cut the recipe in half and it was perfect for two, with some leftovers for the next day. I only had fresh portabella mushrooms on hand, so I only used those - no dry mushrooms (which saved some time. I also didn't have truffle oil. I used chicken stock instead of broth, which worked fine, and I added a little leftover pork fat to add some flavor and saltiness. I also added some leftover wild mushroom brie I had sitting in the fridge and it added a wonderful creaminess and extra mushroom flavor. I definitely recommend this recipe and am excited to use the base of this one and make all sorts of other flavor combinations!

It was very easy to follow and turned out great considered it was my first time cooking risotto. The aroma from truffle oil was very appetizing, used 2011 riesling gewurtztraminer white wine in my recipe. Definitely would cook using this recipe again!
