Method · 40 min
  1. To make the porcini risotto, clean the porcini mushrooms with a brush or paper towel. Do not soak them in water, as they absorb water easily. Slice the cleaned mushrooms, cutting larger pieces in half.
  2. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the stock in a saucepan and keep warm.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the sliced ​​porcini mushrooms. Fry over medium-high heat for a few minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper, then set the mushrooms aside.
  4. In the same pan, melt about 20 g of butter. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Then add the garlic and risotto rice.
  5. Sauté the rice for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the edges of the rice grains become slightly translucent.
  6. Pour in the white wine and cook until most of the wine has evaporated.
  7. Add a ladle of hot stock and stir constantly. When the rice has absorbed most of the liquid, add another ladle of stock.
  8. Continue this process for about 18–20 minutes, until the rice is creamy on the outside and slightly firm on the inside, or al dente.
  9. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add most of the sautéed porcini mushrooms and gently mix into the risotto. Set aside a few of the nicer mushroom slices for serving.
  10. When the risotto is ready, remove from heat. Add the remaining butter and freshly grated Parmesan, then mix thoroughly.
  11. Let the risotto rest for 2 minutes, then taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
  12. Serve immediately, sprinkled with fresh, chopped parsley, the reserved roasted porcini mushrooms, and a little Parmesan.
