This is a very good and delicious dish. But....it's not fast food. Be prepared to stand there and stir the rice for about 20 minutes (a few minutes more more if you use more rice!). But you'll be rewarded with a most delicious, silky smooth rice dish!!

Ingredients

  1. 6 cupschicken broth
  2. 4table spoons butter, divided
  3. 1 poundbaby Portobello / Crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
  4. 1 1/2 cupsArborio rice (you can't use any other rice for this dish)
  5. 1 cupwhite wine (I use Sauvignon Blanc)
  6. Salt
  7. Fresh ground pepper
  8. 3 tablespoonsfinely chopped chives
  9. 1/3 cupfreshly grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 3 -5 minutes. Remove mushrooms and their liquid, and set aside

  2. 2

    Add 2 tablespoon butter to skillet, and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute. Add rice, stirring to coat with butter, about 2 minutes. When the rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 20 to 25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, chives, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    PS: If the chicken stock is salt-free, add a bit of salt to the broth before you start adding it to the rice.

I cook my Risotto in my pressure cooker eliminating the standing and stirring. It takes 10 minutes and looks and taste exactly like you stood there for 20 minutes stirring. I do the same recipe but when it comes to adding the liquid I add all of the stock and close the pressure cooker for 10 minutes hmmm hmmmm good. One of my favorite side dishes.
