To give the Gourmet Mushroom Risotto recipe below a new twist, simply cut asparagus stalks on the diagonal into 1" lengths, steam lightly (2-4 minutes), and add to the risotto at the end.
Gourmet Mushroom Risotto
Source: allrecipes.com
6 c. chicken broth, divided
3 T. olive oil, divided
1 lb. portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced*
1 lb. white mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 shallots, diced*
1 1/2 c. Arborio rice**
1/2 c. dry white wine*
sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 T. finely chopped chives
4 T. butter
1/3 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
In a small saucepan, warm broth over low heat.
Warm 2 T. olive oil in a large saucepan over med-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and cook until soft, about 3 min. Remove mushrooms and their liquid and set aside.
Add 1 T. olive oil to skillet and stir in shallots. Cook 1 min. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 min. When rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 c. broth to the rice, and stir until broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 c. at a time, stirring continuously, until liquid is absorbed and rice is al dente, about 15-20 min.
Remove from heat; stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
*My notes:
**The Arborio rice is the secret to the creamy, risotto texture.
