“Risotto isn’t really that complicated”

I love this tutorial because it tells you what to do when you don't want to add a certain thing so you can skip it. Also, it tells you what to add if you don't have a certain ingredient.

I know it’s been a year but I’ll still write the ingredients and how to do it


Ingredients
for 4 servings:

6 cups low-sodium chicken stock, or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 lb shiitake mushroom (455 g), stemmed and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 ½ cups arborio rice (200 g)
½ cup white wine (120 mL)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese (110 g), plus more for serving
¼ cup fresh parsley (10 g), for serving

How to do it:


Add the stock to a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the stock is boiling, reduce the heat to low or remove the pan from the heat and keep nearby.

Heat the olive oil in a wide, tall pot over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent.

Add the shiitake mushrooms and butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have cooked down.

Add the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, stir, and cook for 1 minute, until the butter has melted and the garlic is aromatic.

Add the rice and stir until fully coated in the mushroom mixture. Let the rice toast for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Add the white wine and cook until the wine has evaporated, stirring occasionally.

Add 1 cup (240 ml) of the hot stock and stir to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until the stock is fully absorbed.

Continue to add the stock, ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, stirring continuously, until the broth is fully absorbed, for 15-20 minutes. Depending on how fast the rice cooks, there may be leftover stock.

Once the rice is al dente, remove from the heat. Add the Parmesan and stir to combine.

Top with parsley, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.

Enjoy!

I have been coking this recipe for at least two years already. My fiancee loves this recipe and it was about time to leave a comment here. All I can say is thanks so much for this recipe, it brings life to the dish and it is super simple to follow. Blessings!

My tips for a perfect italian risotto:

1) prefer using Carnaroli rice, since it's full of starch and you will obtain a better result.
2) you always want to toast your rice before putting it into other ingredients, because if you don't your rice won't cook inside. Just cook it alone in a hot pan for some minutes until it smells good (or when you touch it and you burn your hand).
3) make sure your broth is always boiling.
4) most important, add parmigiano after some minutes after turning off the fire, because if you add it before, the oily part of the cheese will separates and you will get a bad result. You can consider adding a tablespoon of butter in this phase, it takes your risotto to another level.

I’ve never put in the mushroom before the rice (previously fried separately and reserved) but this recipe worked out really well and will be my go-to!

I followed this recipe exactly. Literally perfection. She ain't lying about the patience Take your time. It's worth it!

This was AMAZING, 10/10 would make again. I added oregano and mixed herbs in addition to the other spices and it came out great!

Risotto is one of those dishes that intimidate you, until you make it and it comes out tasting amazing. Once you’ve “mastered” it, you can make all kinds of risotto: wild mushroom and pea, shrimp with asparagus, primavera, I’ve even made a sweet dessert risotto with vanilla, rum, and orange zest.

Great recipe! Made it tonight and it was perfect! I used basil instead of thyme since that’s what I had on hand. I also didn’t catch the butter quantity so just winged at about 4 tablespoons.
