Truffle and Wild Mushroom Risotto

Truffle and wild mushroom risotto is a luxurious dish that embodies the essence of Italian cuisine. Its creamy texture, earthy flavors, and aromatic truffle notes make it a favorite among food enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup mixed wild mushrooms (such as chanterelles, porcini, or shiitake), sliced
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat until simmering. Reduce the heat to low to keep the broth warm.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and toast, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the rice grains are lightly golden.
  4. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, stirring until the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced wild mushrooms and thyme leaves, and sauté until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Once the risotto is cooked to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and truffle oil. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  8. Divide the risotto among serving plates and top each portion with the sautéed wild mushrooms. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and thyme leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
