CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND CASHEW RISOTTO RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 5 minutes. Reduce the heat, add the rice, and mix to coat in butter. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until the grains are translucent. Stir in the turmeric, then add the wine. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until reduced. Gradually add the hot stock, a ladleful at a time. Stir constantly and add more liquid as the rice absorbs each addition. Increase the heat to medium so that the liquid bubbles. Cook for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is creamy. About 3 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir in the mushrooms and cashews. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the arugula leaves on 4 individual serving plates. Remove the risotto from the heat and spoon it over the arugula. Sprinkle over the parmesan shavings and basil leaves and serve.

RISOTTO WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring broth and water to a simmer; keep hot. In another large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until tender. Add rice; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until rice is coated., Stir in wine and lemon juice. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer; cook and stir until wine mixture is absorbed.

Serve immediately.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat a small amount of oil in a large heavy based pot and add the chicken. When cooked, remove from the pot and set aside.
• On a high heat, warm a little more oil to the pot and add the garlic and onion. Saute until the onion is translucent.
• Add the rice to the pot and stir to coat the grains with the oil and onion. Add wine and saffron. Stir to combine.
• Add one cup of the stock and continually stir whilst bringing to the boil.
• Turn down to a medium heat. When the liquid has almost all been absorbed add another cup of stock and keep stirring continuously.
• Keep repeating step 5 until the rice is cooked. I find that I need to use six cups of stock, but quantities can vary from person to person. The best technique (I find) is to taste the rice after four cups, and keep checking after each cup you add after that.
• When the rice is cooked and almost all liquid has been absorbed stir in the chicken and mushrooms. Remove from heat when the mushrooms are starting to look cooked.
• Slowly add in the spinach and stir until the spinach has wilted. Add pepper to taste.
• Serve warm.
• If desired, a large handful of parmesan can be added with the chicken and mushrooms, or sprinkled over the top when served.

MUSHROOM, LEEK AND CASHEW NUT RISOTTO

Steps:

• Toss the fresh mushrooms with the lemon juice. In a large, heavy based pan melt 2 tablespoons of butter, stir in the mushrooms and cook over moderate heat until they begin to brown. Add the parsley and basil (if using) and cook for 30 seconds more, then remove and set aside.
• Heat another 2 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil in the same pan in which the mushrooms were cooked. Stir in the sliced leeks and garlic and cook until soft, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the rice, stirring to coat all the grains until they start to swell and burst - about 2 minutes. Add the sauteed mushrooms and mix well.
• Pour in the wine and cook over moderate to low heat until it is absorbed.
• Add half a cup of the hot stock and stir frequently to prevent sticking while the rice absorbs the liquid.
• Keep adding stock in this way, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
• Just as the final liquid is being absorbed and the rice is cooked (about 20 minutes) remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the parmesan cheese and the cashew nuts. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste (and salt, if you must) and serve. Garnish with some freshly grated parmesan, if you like.

MUSHROOM AND CHICKEN RISOTTO RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. In a large pot, heat the butter over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, 1/4 tsp of the salt, and the pepper. Cook until the chicken is done, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mixture from the pan. In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer. 2. In the large pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir until it begins to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. 3. Add the wine and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt to the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until all of the wine has been absorbed. Add about 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and cook, stirring frequently, until it has been absorbed. The rice and broth should bubble gently; adjust the heat as needed. Continue cooking the rice, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, and allowing the rice to absorb it before adding the next 1/2 cup. Cook the rice in this way until tender, 25 to 30 minutes in all. The broth that hasn't been absorbed should be thickened by the starch from the rice. You may not need to use all the liquid, or you may need more both or some water. 4. Stir in the chicken and mushrooms, the Parmesan, and the parsley and heat through. Serve the risotto with additional Parmesan.
