Are you looking to recreate the magic of a fine dining experience in your kitchen? Look no further than this delicious Wild Mushroom Risotto recipe!

The flavours are quite complex, but with a few simple steps and the right ingredients, you can have restaurant-style food in the comfort of your own home.



Ingredients:

• 3 cups of chicken stock

• 5 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

• 3 chopped shallots

• 2 cups risotto rice (use short-grain rice like arborio or carnaroli)

• 1 cup dry white wine

• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese

• 113g (commercially available; similar recipes use portobello and white mushrooms) wild mushrooms, sliced and sautéed

• 1 teaspoon truffle oil

• Salt and pepper to taste



Directions:

First, bring the chicken stock to a simmer. Ensure the chicken stock is hot – you don’t want it boiling, but it should be at a temperature just below boiling with the surface moving slightly.

Next, sauté the shallots in olive oil until soft in a pan. Add the risotto rice, stirring for around 3-5 minutes until the oil has completely coated it.



Pour half a cup of hot broth and the white wine and continue stirring. As the liquid reduces, add more hot stock, stirring continuously until the rice is creamy – this should take around 15 minutes.

Finally, remove from the heat and add the Parmesan cheese, mushrooms, and truffle oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper!

Voila, you now have your own Wild Mushroom Risotto. This dish is best served warm, so serve it as soon as it is ready – don’t leave it to cool, or it will stiffen up!

Buon Appetito!
