Mushroom
Risotto
Risotto is an Italian rice dish cooked in a broth and white
wine to a creamy consistency. The broth can be derived from meat, fish, or
vegetables. Risotto mainly contains butter, wine, and onion. It is one of the
most common ways of cooking rice in Italy.
I never tested risotto before coming to Switzerland. For the
first time I tried in a restaurants in Lugano (Italian part of Switzerland). It
was purple in color (that’s still a mystery) and the way it looked I did not
like it at all. Being a Bengali we have eating habit of long grain rice. I
never liked short grain mushy rice before. It was mind set for me so that I did
not like the risotto there. But my friends loved that too much. Then once I
tried it in other restaurants, I became a fan of risotto especially with
mushroom. Then I went to Italy I tried there as well. More I have tried it more
became a fan of it. Then I have started to make risotto at home. Because we can’t
go to restaurants everyday right? This is my version of hope that you will like
it and don’t forget to comment that how it turns out J

Method
1.
Add olive oil and butter to heavy bottom sauce
pan. You can only use butter. But I prefer both. Add the finely chopped onion
and crushed garlic into the pan. Saute it until onion pieces are translucent.
2.
Then add chopped mushroom pieces and saute it
until it became tender.
3.
Then add Arborio rice and toast it for few times.
4.
After toasting the rice, add white wine to it and
mix it until all liquid has been evaporated.
5.
Then add the hot broth or stock to it and let it
cook at medium low heat until the rice is completely cooked through. It will
take 10 minutes.
6.
Then turn off the heat and add some butter and
loads of Parmesan cheese. Give it a last mix and serve immediately. Enjoy J
