AT LONG LAST! HERE IS ANOTHER ABSOLUTELY FREE and FABULOUS RECIPE FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT [SIMPLE CURRY RECIPE FOLLOWING VERY SOON]:
LAS VEGAS STYLE MAGNIFICENT MUSHROOM RISOTTO FOR TWO (in around 30 minutes).
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup arborio rice
2-21/2 cups chicken stock
21/2 Tbs olive oil
1 clove garlic finely chopped
3-4 oz sliced sauteed crimini mushrooms [these are immature portobello’s]
1/6 cup grated Parmesan cheese [preferably fresh grated not the canned stuff with added anti-caking ingredients]
salt and pepper to taste.
METHOD:
Sauté the garlic and sliced mushrooms in ½ Tbs olive oil (add a knob of unsalted butter for decadency), lightly season with salt and pepper and cook until soft. [Keep stirring and be careful to not burn the garlic]. Set aside.
Meanwhile Heat the chicken stock to simmer in saucepan.
Put 2 Tbs olive oil in skillet and heat at medium low-add rice and stir for 3-5 minutes until coated with oil and just beginning a tan.
Reduce heat to low [a simmer]. Add 1 cup of the hot chicken stock and stir gently until it is absorbed into the rice. Add the stock a ladle full at a time and stir each addition until absorbed. This should take around 15 minutes and the rice should be creamy consistency and just cooked through. Use more or less stock and time to achieve this. [The secret here is to add the stock a little at a time and stir until absorbed by the rice before adding more-it may take longer depending upon the rice and temperature].
Remove from heat and gently fold in the cooked mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, perhaps with a green salad [use a simple dressing such as oil and vinegar so as to not conflict with the flavors of the risotto] and glass of wine of your choice.
