Mushroom risotto with homemade mushroom stock Recipe, serves two: 16 oz (1/2 kilo) mushrooms 1 onion 1-2 carrots 1-2 celery stalks 1-2 shallots 4-6 cloves of garlic 1 cup (200g) risotto rice butter cognac (or white wine, or water/stock + a little balsamic vinegar) parmesan or pecorino cheese (or vegan sour cream instead of cheese and butter) olive oil chives salt pepper Pull the stems out of all the mushrooms and wash the stems, if necessary. In a large sauce pan, fry the stems in olive oil until thoroughly browned. Roughly chop the onion, carrots and celery, and put them in with the stems. Cook the vegetables until they're starting to brown, stirring constantly. Cover everything in water and simmer for about two hours. Strain, discard the solids, and season the stock with salt (and/or MSG) to taste. Slice the mushroom caps into big chunks. Finely chop the shallots and garlic. In a wide pan, start heating a big knob of butter and a glug of olive oil. Put in the mushrooms and saut until most of their water has come out and evaporated and the mushrooms are thoroughly browned. Push the mushrooms to the rim of the pan and dump the shallots in the center. Stir and fry the shallots for a moment, then dump in the garlic and stir to combine everything in the pan. Make another well in the center of the pan then dump in the rice. Stir the rice and let it brown for a moment, then stir to combine everything in the pan. If using cognac or wine, deglaze with a big splash of it now. If not, deglaze with water/stock and put in a little glug of balsamic vinegar. Then add enough stock to more than cover the rice, and let is simmer aggressively until absorbed, stirring occasionally. Then start adding additional stock in small doses and stirring constantly until the rice is almost cooked (which you should test by tasting. If you run out of your mushroom stock, just use water. When the rice is almost cooked, turn the heat off and stir in a big knob of butter and a big pile of grated cheese (or vegan sour cream instead of butter and cheese, and black pepper and additional salt to taste. Serve and top with fresh chopped chives

I am fortunate enough to have a family mountain house near a large forest, and we pick great amounts of wild mushrooms, primarily Porcini. And once you get used to porcinis, it's really hard to go back to commercial ones like cremini, portobello etc. You can buy dried porcini, but it is expensive. The upside is that the are cost effective when dried up, a small amount will make your soups, stews and all sorts of food sooo much better. So to anyone who likes mushrooms, as often as you can, go porcini. Aside from truffles, the best and safest mushroom there is.

Nothing beats a mushroom risotto made with wild mushrooms. Store-bought mushrooms have very little flavor. I always go foraging toward the end of summer and early fall. I dry most of them. Even a dry wild porcini mushroom is enough to turn a decent risotto into a five-star risotto fit for a high-end restaurant.

Is it only me or do others find it a bit annoying when he places food packaging from the store on the chopping board? In my eyes it seems a bit unhygienic, placing sth which was on shelves and in warehouses where your food will be cut. I'm probably exaggerating though this topic might be a video idea
reply

was expecting a cheater method for the risotto, not the traditional constant stir methodi'd probably add kombu, miso, or dried shiitakes to the stock, all are super cheap but i understand not including it to make the recipe more accessible. (BA's vegan umami broth would be fantastic here too)

Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate that when you say if you want to make this vegan. you're not snarky at all. Most of the non-vegan foodtubers I watch can be downright ignorant in their comments. Brad Leone has left the chat

Pretty nice recipe but If you wanna to keep this vegan, a great way to finish the risotto, is it with vegan sour cream. That gives it the richness of the butter and the sharpness of the cheese. does not make sense. ;)

I love making risotto I usually sub out Vidalia onions for the shallots when I can. Have you/would you ever do a pressure cooker risotto recipe? I know it takes longer but its hands off time.
reply

wow the first time ive seen someone use onion grass in their food. me and my friend would play with it all the time in first grade. we even made a birds nest out of it.
reply

You're supposed to use part salt, part msg. I'd even say mainly salt, with a pinch of msg. If you use just msg everything will end up tasting like fast food, in a bad way.
reply

By the way, between mushrooms in this risotto recipe and a chicken thigh in the last one, is risotto just meant to work with a star ingredient that can't be overcooked?
