Gluten Free Kosher Nut Free Chicken Bbq Grill Gluten-Free Nut-Free Fried sweet savory umami european greek mediterranean middle eastern region kosher healthy_fats side sour plant_based french italian main bitter soup

This classic mushroom risotto is cooked the slow and painful way, but-oh so worth it! Perfect as an Italian main dish or side dish that complements grilled meats and chicken dishes very well. Check the rice by biting into it. It should be slightly al dente (or resist slightly to the tooth but not be hard in the center).

Ingredients

6 cups chicken broth , or as needed
3 tablespoons olive oil , divided
1 pound portobello mushrooms , thinly sliced
1 pound white mushrooms , thinly sliced
2 medium shallots , diced
1.5 cups Arborio rice
0.5 cups dry white wine
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
0.33 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1

Gather all ingredients.
2

Warm broth in a saucepan over low heat. Meanwhile, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep-sided large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sliced portobello and white mushrooms; cook and stir until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and their liquid to a bowl; set aside.
3

Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the saucepan. Stir in shallots and cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook and stir until rice is coated with oil and pale, golden in color, about 2 minutes.
4

Pour in wine, stirring constantly until wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup warm broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed.
5

Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, yet firm to the bite, about 15 to 20 minutes.
6

Remove from heat. Stir in reserved mushrooms and their liquid, butter, chives, and Parmesan cheese.
7

Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
