Patricia...I love the photo of the fresh Porcini...just magnificent!
You and I seem to cook alike in some ways...a least as far as Risotto is concerned ;O)
Great appetizing dish.
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia

Porcini are tossed with pasta, risotto, grilled with herbs, as a salad, sautéd with olive oil & herbs, baked, on pizza & pasta and marinated in olive oil.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 5 cups broth (homemade or store bought, vegetable, chicken)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 lb. fresh Porcini mushrooms, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 medium chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove of chopped garlic
- 1/2 cup white wine
- Freshly ground pepper
Directions
- Put the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the rice and allow it to cook until it becomes opaque. Pour in the wine so that it just covers the rice. Stir and allow the rice to absorb the wine on a medium heat. Heat the broth and begin to add it in by just keeping the rice covered with liquid. As soon as the rice absorbs the liquid, add a little more. Stir often and continue this process until the rice is almost done. Add the mushrooms and allow them to cook in the rice for another 2-3 minutes. The entire cooking process takes about 20 minutes.
- Remove the rice from the stove and add the grated cheese, stir and add a little freshly ground pepper and the cold butter.
- <strong>Note:</strong> You can substitute fresh Porcini with about 2 oz. dried Porcini mushrooms, which can be found in the most markets. Soak them in tepid water for 30 minutes before using them. Add some of the hydrating liquid to the risotto giving it a more intense flavor.

June 25, 2010Foodessa thanks for the comment, I love taking photo's of such beautiful fruits and vegetables. And in Italy they always seem to be bigger and prettier and brighter then anywhere else. I don't know how they do it as I don't have a green thumb, but I do appreciate it. Taking photo's of Porcini has become a passion. They are so beautiful.1 reply
