This is the dish that George Castanza's girlfriend ooed and aahed over in the restaurant in Seinfeld, and now I know exactly how she felt! I often make this when serving fish since Jeremy isn't a seafood guy and he loves it.
Mushroom Risotto
Ingredients
6 cups chicken broth, divided
3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
2 lbs. fresh mushrooms, sliced thin
2 shallots, diced
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white win
salt and pepper to taste
4 Tbsp. butter
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
In a saucepan, warm the broth over low heat.
Warm 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a large saucepan ov medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until soft (about two minutes) Remove mushrooms and their liquid. Set aside. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil to skillet and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil. About two minutes. When the rice has taken on a pale, golden colour pour in wine. Stir constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring continuously until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente (around 15-20 minutes).
