Mushroom Risotto with Truffle Oil – cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
o Large knob of butter
o 1 onion, finely chopped
o 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
o 30g/1¼oz dried porcini mushrooms, soaked in a bowl of warm water for twenty
minutes
o 450g/1lb mushrooms
o 300g/10½oz rice
o Splash of Rapeseed Oil
o 250ml/8¾ fl oz. dry white wine
o 1.5 litres/2 pints 12¾fl oz. chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
o ½ bunch parsley, roughly chopped
o 100g/3½oz parmesan, or similar vegetarian hard cheese, finely grated
o Drizzle Truffle Oil, to serve
Method:
1. Melt the butter in a deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and fry
gently until translucent
2. Drain the soaked porcini, reserving about 300ml/10½fl oz. of the soaking water
3. Increase the heat to high and add the mushrooms to the pan. Cook over a high heat for 2-3
minutes and then add the rice. If at this point the mixture is drying out add a splash of
Rapeseed Oil. Fry the mixture for 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent
4. Add the wine and simmer until the liquid is mostly absorbed, then add a ladleful of stock
5. Continue to cook the rice, adding a ladleful of stock at a time and stirring continuously until
the liquid is absorbed by the rice. The rice should take about 15-18 minutes to cook
6. Once the rice is tender, take the pan off the heat and stir in the parsley and parmesan
7. Divide the risotto among four serving plates, drizzle with Truffle Oil and serve
And just like that… a warm, hearty meal!
