Mushroom Truffle Risotto

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Equipment

  • Braiser (3.5 Quart)
  • Medium Saucepan (2-3 Quarts)

Ingredients  

Mushrooms

  • 12 ounces assorted mushrooms, sliced or quartered
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • ground black pepper, to taste

Risotto

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium shallot, finely minced
  • cups arborio rice
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 4-6 cups chicken broth, warmed
  • ¾ cup, freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons truffle oil, see notes
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions 

Mushrooms

  • In a braiser (or large skillet) over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and any liquid has evaporated. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Remove mushrooms from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.

Risotto

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer, then keep warm over low heat.
  • In the same large braiser used to cook the mushrooms, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Add the arborio rice and stir with a wooden spoon to coat each grain in the butter, making all the grains shiny. Toast the rice for about 1 minute.
  • Add the white wine and stir until it is absorbed into the rice.
  • Add 1 cup of warm broth while stirring. Once the broth has been absorbed (the bottom of the pan will be exposed when you drag your spoon across), add another cup. Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing it to absorb before adding more. This process will take about 20-25 minutes. The rice should be creamy and just slightly al dente. It should have the texture of slow-moving lava and not be a stiff ball.
  • Once the rice has reached the desired doneness, turn off the heat. Stir in ⅔ of the cooked mushrooms, truffle oil, the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Stir until all the cheese and butter have melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the risotto into bowls. Top with the remaining mushrooms, extra Parmigiano Reggiano, and chopped fresh parsley.
