Wild Mushroom Risotto Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Broth

   In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced shallots and garlic, sauté until translucent.

3. 3

   Cook the Mushrooms

   Add the wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Toast the Rice

   Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

5. 5

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the dry white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.

6. 6

   Add Broth Gradually

   Begin adding the warm chicken broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

7. 7

   Finish the Risotto

   Once the rice is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

8. 8

   Serve

   Plate the risotto and serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
