True Italian Porcini Mushroom Risotto is a delectable and satisfying Italian dish that originates from Northern Italy. It features the distinctive flavor and aroma of porcini mushrooms, which are renowned for their meaty and nutty taste. Risotto is a classic Italian rice dish that is cooked in broth, wine, and butter, and is renowned for its creaminess and versatility. The key to a good risotto is to stir the rice continuously to release its starch and create a rich and velvety texture. True Italian Porcini Mushroom Risotto is perfect for a cozy dinner or a special occasion, and pairs well with a glass of red wine.

Instructions

1.Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in hot water for 30 minutes, then remove from the water and reserve the soaking liquid.
2.Pour the beef stock into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat.
3.Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and rosemary, and sauté for 1 minute. Add the soaked porcini mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
4.Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then pour in 1/2 cup of white wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
5.In a separate large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the shallot and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent. Add the Arborio rice and stir for 5 minutes until the grains are lightly toasted.
6.Pour in the remaining 1/2 cup of white wine and cook until the wine has evaporated. Add a ladleful of the simmering beef stock to the rice mixture and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Keep adding the beef stock, 1 ladleful at a time, stirring for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked al dente.
7.Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
8.Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the soaked porcini mushrooms, reserved soaking liquid, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.
9.Serve the risotto hot, topped with the melted butter and olive oil mixture.
