Mushroom risotto

Get:
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 0.3 cup wine
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 0.5 cup minced shallot
  • 1 cup dry short grain rice
  • 1oz grated parm
  • seasonings: salt, pepper, thyme
Do:
  • sautee shallot in butter until soft but not brown
  • over medium heat, stir in dry rice grains and cook 3-5 minutes, transluscent but not browned
  • reduce heat to low
  • add some of the wine and broth until rice is just covered
  • stir frequently until liquid is absorbed, NOT boiled off
  • repeat, adding liquid until its all in there
  • cook rice until tender, cover if necessary, should be like 40 minutes total
  • turn off heat and mix in parmesan and any flavorings

Results:
  • Good flavor! Cant go wrong with parm + shallot + wine + butter. I also added a sauteed mushroom topping which was solid
  • The rice did not get tender enough. I spent extra time cooking it covered and adding a little water. I think it's easy to have the heat a little too high and the stock reduces instead of getting absorbed
