Gourmet Mushroom Risotto

Recipe Description

This Gourmet Mushroom Risotto is an authentic Italian risotto. Authentic risotto means that it is cooked slowly which makes it so perfect. This risotto is perfect with grilled meat or and chicken. Remember that the rice should have a slight bite to it but it shouldn’t be hard in the center. Your dinner companions will want to lick their plates!

To make this dish, begin by cooking mushrooms in a skillet with olive oil. Remove the mushrooms and their liquid and set aside. Add the shallots to the same skillet. Add rice and stir to coat with the oil. When the rice turns a pale, golden color, pour in wine and stir constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add broth to the rice in stages, stirring between additions until the broth is absorbed. Once the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, remove the skillet from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
