Risotto ai Porcini
Contributed by: Chef Leonardo Curti of Trattoria Grappolo

Posted November 28, 2004

Of course, the first ingredient to any recipe is to have a good chef. Begin by adding one Leonardo Curti (shown on right), with a dash of personal flavor, a twist of experience, a passion for excellence and a twinkle of enthusiasm. Then gather and add the ingredients below to produce a fantastic Risotto ai Porcini, as only Grappolos can serve.  (Click on pictures at right for an expanded view.)

Ingredients
3 cups stock
½ chopped onion
6 tablespoons butter
1 3/4 cups Arborio rice
1 cup of porcini mushrooms
1 cup of dry white wine
Salt
3 tablespoons grated parmesan
Italian parsley

Steps:

  1. Heat the stock
  2. Sauté the onion in a casserole with half the butter
  3. Add the rice and salt, then mix
  4. A few minutes after beginning to cook the rice, start adding a little stock at a time, stirring and waiting until the liquid is absorbed. Halfway through cooking, add the wine, stir well, and allow it to be absorbed, and add the porcini mushrooms.
  5. Continue adding stock, one ladle at a time, until it is all absorbed. It should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. When the rice is ready, remove from the heat and season with the remaining butter, parmesan, and Italian parsley. Mix well, and serve hot.



And then, the proof of the product:
