Mushroom Risotto Recipe
Serves 4 to 6
Prep Time: 30 to 40 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
2 cups boiling water
6 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
¼ cup olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 medium Spanish onion, minced
1 pound white button mushrooms, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
2 cups Arborio rice
⅓ cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc
Kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅔ cup (about 3 ounces) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
Directions:
Put the mushrooms in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them
Let soak for 30 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushrooms to a cutting board. You should have 2 cups of mushroom soaking liquid; if not, add enough water to make 2 cups. Coarsely chop the mushrooms and set aside.
Strain the mushroom soaking liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a small pot. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat until shimmering, almost smoking. Add the garlic and saute until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt, raise the heat slightly, and cook, stirring, until they give up their liquid and begin to dry, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Heat a large, wide, heavy pot over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and heat until it is shimmering, almost smoking.
Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon to coat the rice and continue cooking until the rice is opaque in the center, about 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup of wine, which should hiss on contact, and stir until it is absorbed by the rice, about 2 minutes. Pour in the remaining cup of wine and continue to cook, stirring, until it is absorbed by the rice, about 2 more minutes.
Ladle in ½ cup of simmering stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until all stock has been absorbed. Continue to add stock in approximately half-cup increments, just enough to completely moisten the rice, and cook, stirring vigorously until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Continue to add stock in the same manner, cooking and stirring and adding the next half cup only after the prior one has been completely absorbed. After about 16 minutes, begin adding the stock more judiciously, a little at a time, until the rice is creamy but still pleasantly al dente. (The best way to be sure is to try a few grains.) Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, with salt and/or pepper.
Divide the risotto among 4 to 6 plates and serve, passing extra cheese for topping the rice.

My old video about why dried mushrooms are so much stronger than fresh:
***RECIPE***
1/2 cup (100g) risotto rice per portion (arborio, vialone nano, canaroli, etc)
1 pound (454g) fresh mushrooms per portion (get some big ones, like king trumpet, to use for garnish, and some smaller ones to put in the rice)
1 handful of fragrant, cheap dried mushrooms per portion
1 big shallot for every two portions
a couple garlic cloves per portion
olive oil
vinegar (I used white balsamic but anything is fine)
white wine (optional)
cognac or any other barrel-aged spirit (optional)
butter (optional)
parmesan cheese (optional)
vegan sour cream (if you're not using dairy)
truffle oil (optional)
fresh herbs for garnish (I used tarragon, but thyme or sage would be nice)
bay leaves (optional, no idea if they do anything)
mustard seeds (optional)
salt
pepper
First make the mushrooms stock. Combine the dried mushrooms and a few bay leaves with about 2 cups (473mL) water per portion, a big pinch of salt per portion, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 30-60 minutes, strain out the solids and discard them. (If there was a lot of sand on the dry mushrooms, you can either pass the stock through a coffee filter or just let the sand settle on the bottom and pour off everything but the last little bit.)
Prepare the fresh mushrooms by cleaning off any dirt and trimming off any woody stems. The large mushrooms that you plan to use for garnish, cut in half lengthwise and, optionally, score the cut sides like I do in the video. Marinate those with a little olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper. The smaller mushrooms, cut down in size if necessary to make them all about the same size and so they'll cook quickly and blend in well with the rice.
Peal and dice the shallot. Crush and peal the garlic but do not chop it.
You can either cook the fresh mushrooms in advance, or do it while the rice is cooking, like I do in the video.
When the stock is done and you're a half hour out from dinner, fry the shallots for a minute in some olive oil over moderate heat. Stir in a big pinch of mustard seeds per portion and let them fry. When the shallots have softened a little, stir in the dry, unwashed rice and fry it for a minute. Deglaze with enough white wine to just cover the rice and stir until absorbed. (If you're not using white wine, maybe spike the mushroom stock with a little splash of that white balsamic vinegar per portion and use that instead.)
Pour in enough of the mushroom stock to cover and let the rice cook, stirring occasionally, until the grains are just a little crunchy, adding stock as needed, 15-20 minutes. If you run out of stock, water is fine.
While the rice is cooking, heat a thick layer of olive oil in a pan over moderate heat and put in the big marinated mushrooms, cut-side down. When the cut sides have browned, flip the mushrooms over, put in the garlic cloves, and use a spoon to baste garlicy hot oil over the mushrooms until they've shrunk at least by a third and they look cooked. If you're down with dairy, I'd melt some butter into the pan for the basting stage. Leaving the hot fat in the pan, remove the mushrooms to a plate and take out the garlic cloves before they burn.
Put the smaller mushrooms into the pan, season with a little salt and pepper, and cook until brown and shrunk by at least a third. Deglaze with a little cognac (or white wine, or stock, or water), coat the mushrooms in the resulting syrup and turn off the heat.
When the rice is almost done, turn off the heat, stir in the smaller mushrooms and as much butter and grated cheese as you want. If you're not using dairy, try cook the risotto so that it looks a little too dry at this stage and enrich with a one or two big scoops of vegan sour cream per portion (it will add moisture, which is why it's good to start with a slightly dry risotto). Tear in the fresh herbs, stir, taste for seasoning and add salt/pepper if necessary. Stir in a little water/stock if the risotto is looking too tight.
Scoop the rice onto plate, smooth off the surface and garnish with the bigger mushrooms. Serve with steak knives to cut the bigger shrooms.
Mushroom Risotto
Mushroom Risotto is a magnificent way to turn ordinary mushrooms into an incredible dish that would be at home in a fine dining restaurant!! The trick that really elevates this risotto recipe is to stir some of the buttery, garlic mushrooms INTO the risotto and reserve some to pile on TOP.
This is a fully loaded mushroom recipe - there's an enormous mound of mushrooms in this!

Chicken and mushroom risotto
Serves 4 Prep 10 mins Cooking 35 mins
4 cups (1L) chicken stock
Parmesan rind (optional)
1 brown onion, peeled reserving skin, finely chopped
1 tbs olive oil
2 small Coles RSPCA Approved Australian Chicken Breast Fillets, thinly sliced
200g brown mushrooms, thickly sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1½ cups (300g) arborio rice
½ cup (125ml) white wine or extra chicken stock
60g pkt Coles Australian Baby Rocket
½ cup (40g) finely grated parmesan
1. Place stock in a medium saucepan. Add the parmesan rind, if using, and reserved onion skin. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Heat half the oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook half the chicken, turning, for 2 mins or until browned. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with remaining chicken. Add the mushroom to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until golden. Transfer to bowl with chicken. Loosely cover to keep warm.
2. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion skin and parmesan rind from the stock mixture and discard.
3. Heat remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Add rice and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until the grains appear glassy. Add wine or extra stock and bring to the boil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 mins or until liquid is absorbed. Add 1/2 cup (125ml) hot stock and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is completely absorbed. Repeat with remaining stock, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more, until the rice is tender yet firm to the bite and risotto is creamy (this should take about 20 mins).
4. Add chicken, mushroom and rocket to the risotto mixture and stir until the chicken is cooked through and rocket just wilts. Remove from heat. Stir in half the grated parmesan. Divide among serving bowls and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan to serve.
