Porcini Risotto (Italian Mushroom Rice)
My Mother-In-Law's Own Recipe
6 Large pieces of dried Porcini Mushrooms 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil 1 Tablespoon Butter 1/2 Onion, chopped 3/4 Cups Risotto Rice 2 1/4 Cups Beef Broth 1/2 Tablespoon Italian Parsley
In a saucepan bring the Beef Broth to a boil then shut off heat. Soak Porcini Mushrooms in the Broth until reconstituted, then slice the Mushrooms very thin (reserve broth). In another saucepan heat Olive Oil & Butter then sauté Onion until transparent. Add the Risotto and stir for 1 minute. Add the Mushrooms & 1/2 of the Beef Broth, reduce heat to medium, and stir constantly until liquid is absorbed. Add the remaining Broth 1/2 cup at a time, cooking and stirring until liquid is absorbed. When rice is done, remove from heat and stir in Parsley. Sprinkle with Parmasan.
