Risotto with porcini, shiitake and vin santo

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 cups Chicken stock; heated to simmer in
Saucepan
4 tablespoons Virgin olive oil
½ medium Red onion; finely chopped
½ pounds Fresh porcini mushrooms
½ pounds Fresh shiitake mushrooms
1½ cup Italian arborio rice
4 tablespoons Sweet butter
1 cup Vin santo
½ cup Freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Directions

Heat all chicken stock to simmer and place on back burner at low temperature.

In a heavy bottom 12 to 14-inch saute pan over medium flame, heat 4 tablespoons virgin olive oil, add chopped onion, and saute until translucent but not browned.

Add mushrooms and saute until lightly browned but not fully cooked. Add rice and stir over heat one minute to coat thoroughly. Add a 4-ounce ladle of warm chicken stock and, stirring constantly, allow it to cook, boiling slowly until it dissipates. When it is gone, add another ladle of broth and repeat until rice is quite al dente (about 12 to 14 minutes). Add butter, vin santo and Parmigiano Reggiano and bring to boil again, continuing to stir until rice is done, firm and tender all the way through.

Yield: 4 servings
