Porcini And Chanterelle Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Wipe the fresh mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Break into bitesized pieces and reserve. Soak dried porcini in enough boiling water to cover for about 1/2 hour, or until pliable. Drain them, reserving the soaking liquid, and rinse mushrooms under running water. Chop into bitesized pieces and add to fresh mushrooms. Strain soaking liquid, add to stock and set aside.
• Heat oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium low heat. Cook onions with salt and pepper until soft and translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until aroma is released, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and saute until golden. Add brandy, turn heat to high, and scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to release brown bits.
• Light alcohol with a match. When flame subsides, add rice and saute until slightly colored, about 1 minute. Add bay leaves and 1/2 cup stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until near dry.
• Once the liquid is evaporated, briefly saute rice. Then, add stock 1/2 cup at a time, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon until absorbed. Repeat procedure, stirring constantly and briefly sauteing between additions, until all stock has been absorbed. You must constantly stir while cooking rice. When done, the rice should be glazed outside and soft throughout. It takes approximately 20 minutes to add all the stock. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion. Cover and cook until golden, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add rice, porcini, 1 cup porcini soaking liquid, 3 1/2 cups broth and Cognac. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until rice is tender and mixture is creamy, stirring occasionally and adding broth if dry, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pass cheese separately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Cook and stir the garlic and mushrooms in the melted butter for three minutes, being sure to brown the mushrooms little. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in rice, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add vegetable broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing all the liquid to be absorbed before adding more broth. Continue cooking until the rice is tender to the tooth. Stir in the mushroom mixture and heat through, about 1 minute. Stir in cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine broth, porcini, and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; cook until porcini are tender, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, remove porcini; coarsely chop. To keep broth warm, reduce heat to low, and cover.
• In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. Add fresh mushrooms and chopped porcini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and 1 tablespoon butter to saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add rice, and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add wine, and cook, stirring, until absorbed, 1 minute.
• Add 2 cups of warm broth to rice mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until absorbed, 4 to 5 minutes. Continue to add broth, by cupfuls, stirring occasionally and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more, untilrice is al dente, about 25 minutes total (you may not need all the broth).
• Remove risotto from heat. Stir in Parmesan, remaining tablespoon butter, and half the sauteed mushrooms;season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining mushrooms, and serve immediately, garnished with more Parmesan.

Steps:

• Cover porcini mushroom with (at first) boiling water (about 150ml). Soak for about 30 minutes. Save soaking liquid for later, but strain through a close meshed sieve or even coffee filter to avoid sand.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet, add garlic, chopped porcini mushrooms and chopped shallots.
• Add risotto rice and let fry for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add white wine (or Prosecco) and stir frequently until wine is absorbed by rice.
• Now alternately add hot(!) vegetable broth and procini soaking water. (Best 1 ladle at a time until liquid has been absorbed by rice.).
• Repeat until rice is cooked through but still of creamy texture. Stir frequently. (about 15-20 minutes).
• Now incorporate 2 TB butter, parsley and parmesan.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
