Kathryns Mushroom Risotto Recipe


Kathryns Mushroom Risotto Recipe
My sister's delicious recipe takes a bit of time and TLC, but it gets rave reviews from everyone I've ever made it for. It can be served either as a vegetarian main dish or as a side dish.

Ingredients
  • Sauteed Mushrooms:
  • 1 pkg mushrooms, sliced thinly (or however many you want - I usually use approx. 20 medium sized mushrooms)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Risotto:
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 or 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 small onion, white or yellow, finely diced
  • 1 c. arborio rice
  • 1 c. white wine*
  • 2 c. chicken stock
  • 1/2 c. grated parmesan (approximate amount, subject to taste)
  • (*For non-alcoholic substitution, you may also use an additional 3/4 c. chicken stock plus 1/4 c. white vinegar.)

Directions
  1. In one pan, melt 1 tbsp butter and add sliced mushrooms, sauteing over medium heat.
  2. In another saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil, and add garlic and onions. Saute over medium-high heat until onions soften and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add arborio rice and stir, until rice is well coated with olive oil and butter.
  4. Slowly add white wine, stirring as it absorbs.
  5. (Note: Kathryn recommends sipping on the rest of the bottle while finishing the risotto.)
  6. When wine is mostly absorbed (risotto should still be a bit soupy), begin slowly adding chicken stock 1/2 cup at a time. Each 1/2 cup should take about 5 minutes to absorb.
  7. Once rice has reached a sticky but mostly solid consistency, add mushrooms from other pan and stir in.
  8. Remove from heat and let sit for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to absorb.
  9. Add parmesan to taste, stir into risotto.
  10. Serve hot with grated parmesan sprinkled on top.

I could see eating this as a meal and I am not a vegetarian, but I love mushrooms and rice and love Risotto. Yummy!


I make risottos often and this one is one of my favorites. I like to make a mushroom stock using a package of dried mushrooms a tablespoon of nutritional yeast and 2 cups of water adjusting for the salt as I see fit.
Great eats.
Kathryn is correct with using the wine up it does not have a long shelf life after opening.
