Mushroom risotto recipe
- Cuisine: French
- Serves 2
Le Tour arrives in the Alps and crosses the border into Italy. Gabriel talks about Italian food, and talented Italian chef, Giuseppe Vargetto, cooks a super porcini risotto. Sommelier, Christian Maier, features a superb Barolo wine.
Ingredients
About 3 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
About 250 g porcini mushrooms, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup Carnaroli rice
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 bay leaves
About 1 tbsp porcini powder
3 sage leaves, finely sliced
About 30 g butter
2 tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp red wine
1/2 tbsp honey
2 tsp crispy fried shallots
4 fried sage leaves
4 fried basil leaves
Preparation
Heat half the olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium heat. Stir in the shallots and half the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add a third of the porcini mushrooms and stir for a minute, then add the rice and cook for a minute or so.
Bring chicken stock to a simmer.
Pour wine into the rice and bring to the boil. Add 1 bay leaf and cover rice with about one-third of the hot chicken stock. Stir in half of the porcini powder and simmer on low heat until the stock has almost evaporated. Add more stock to the risotto and cook until evaporated. Add almost all the remaining stock and cook until evaporated. Stir from time to time during the cooking – altogether it takes 15-20 minutes to cook the rice.
Stir sage leaves into the rice with two-thirds of the butter and the grated parmesan. Cover pan and rest the rice for a few minutes.
Heat remaining oil in a frypan. Add remaining garlic and mushrooms and stir for
2 minutes. Add remaining bay leaf, butter and porcini powder and season with salt and pepper.
Bring red wine to the boil with the honey and cook until it has thickened.
Spread rice on two plates and top with a few porcini mushrooms. Drizzle a little of the wine and honey reduction over the rice and garnish with crispy shallots, sage and basil leaves. Bon appétit!

Hot Tips
Seasoning meat for Goulash
After you have diced your meat for the goulash place it in a plastic bag and add flour and salt and pepper. Twist the top of the bag to seal and give it a good shake. This will ensure that all the meat is evenly coated in the seasoned mixture before you brown it.
