• SAUTEED MUSHROOMS
• First, soak dried Porcini mushrooms into a glass of water. Meanwhile, Porcini are becoming soft, peel and crush the garlic and mince the onion. Now, place a saucepan over medium/low heat and melt 2 tbsp of butter, then saute onion and garlic until very soft and translucent.
• Meanwhile, onion and garlic are cooking, Brush Cremini and Shiitake mushrooms discarding any trace of dirt, then cut them into chunks.

When the onion and garlic are soft, pour the mushrooms into the pan and saute over medium heat 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Finally, pour the sauteed mushrooms into a covered bowl.
• MUSHROOM RISOTTOCombine the broth with the water used to soak dried porcini, and bring it to simmer.In the same saucepan, we used to saute the mushrooms, melt another tbsp of butter, then saute the rice a couple of minutes over medium heat, stirring continuously. This step is essential to protect any grain of rice with a film of butter, and permit them to save their shape after cooked. After that, pour the sauteed mushrooms and enough simmering broth to cover the rice ½ inch above the rice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then set the heat in order to let the mushroom risotto gently simmer. When the rice will adsorb almost all the liquid, add more broth a lattle at time.
• "MANTECATURA" AND FINAL STEPSCook risotto until "al dente", then bring the saucepan far from the heat and pour immediately 1 tbsp of very cold butter and 4 tbsp of Parmigiano Reggiano. Stir the rice energetically and cover with a lid. This step is called in Italian "mantecatura". Let the rice rest 3 minutes, then add 1 yolk, 1 pinch of black pepper and the minced parsley. Finally, stir well one more time and serve mushroom risotto immediately, creamy but not watery.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Put 50g dried porcini mushrooms into a large bowl and pour over 1 litre boiling water. Soak for 20 mins, then drain into a bowl, discarding the last few tbsp of liquid left in the bowl.
• Crumble 1 vegetable stock cube into the mushroom liquid, then squeeze the mushrooms gently to remove any liquid.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium flame. Add 1 finely chopped onion and 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, then fry for about 5 mins until soft.
• Stir in 250g chopped chestnut mushrooms and the dried mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for 8 mins until the fresh mushrooms have softened.
• Tip 300g risotto rice into the pan and cook for 1 min. Pour over a 175ml glass of white wine and let it bubble to nothing so the alcohol evaporates.
• Keep the pan over a medium heat and pour in a quarter of the mushroom stock. Simmer the rice, stirring often, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
• Add about the same amount of stock again and continue to simmer and stir - it should start to become creamy, plump and tender. By the time the final quarter of stock is added, the rice should be almost cooked.
• Continue stirring until the rice is cooked. If the rice is still undercooked, add a splash of water. Take the pan off the heat, add 25g butter and scatter over 25g grated parmesan or Grana Padano cheese and half a handful of chopped parsley leaves.
• Cover and leave for a few mins so that the rice can take up any excess liquid as it cools a bit. Give the risotto a final stir, spoon into bowls and scatter with the remaining 25g grated cheese and the remaining chopped parsley leaves.

PRESSURE COOKER PORCINI RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil over high heat in a 2 1/2-quart or larger stovetop pressure cooker, or in an electric pressure cooker using the sauté function. Add the onions, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in the rice, taking care to coat it with the oil. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
• Stir in the wine. Cook over high heat until the rice has absorbed the wine, about 30 seconds. Stir in 3 cups of the broth and the porcini, taking care to scrape up any rice that might be sticking to the bottom of the cooker.
• Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure, and cook for 4 minutes. Turn off the heat. Quick-release the pressure by setting the cooker under cold running water. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow the steam to escape. If using an electric cooker, cook at high pressure for 4 minutes. Manually release the pressure.
• Set the cooker over medium-high heat or turn on the sauté function, and stir vigorously. The risotto will look fairly soupy at this point. Boil while stirring every minute or so, until the mixture thickens and the rice is tender but still chewy, 1 to 4 minutes. Stir in the peas when the rice is almost done. (if the mixture becomes dry before the rice is done, stir in the extra 1/2 cup of broth. The finished risotto should be slightly runny; it will continue to thicken as it sits on the plate.)
• Turn off the heat. Stir in the Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with a little parsley. Pass extra Parmesan at the table.
