While you don't have to use shitakes for this, that nutty taste just cannot be beat. You can really use whatever mushroom that you have on hand.
Mushroom Risotto
1 quart organic vegetable stock
1 tbsp organic olive oil
2 small shallots, chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, chopped finely
1 cup Arborio rice
1 tbsp local butter
1 cup shitake mushrooms, chopped
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
freshly cracked pepper to taste
Method
- Heat up the stock so that it's not cold when you use it to cook the rice.
- In a separate large pan sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil.
- Add in rice and cover with enough stock to soak the rice.
- About 10 minutes into cooking the rice sauté mushrooms in butter in a separate pan.
- Continue to stir until the stock has evaporated and ladle on another spoon full of stock. Continue this process for about 20 minutes, until the rice is cooked through.
- Add in cheese and stir completely.
