Wild Mushroom Risotto

 

 

Popular as a first course in Italy...
 

6 cups 

 

fat-free, reduced sodium chicken or veg. broth

 

1 Tbs 

 

olive oil

 

1 medium 

 

shallot, chopped

 

2 cloves 

 

garlic, chopped

 

2½ cups 

 

sliced wild mushrooms

 

¼ tsp 

 

dried thyme

 

1½ cups 

 

arborio rice

 

½ cup 

 

dry sherry

 

½ cup 

 

grated Parmesan cheese

 

¼ tsp 

 

freshly ground black pepper

 

 

1

Bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce the heat to keep at a simmer.

2

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook until the mushrooms begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the rice and cook 30 seconds. Add the sherry and cook, stirring constantly, until almost absorbed, about 1 minute. Add the broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring until it is absorbed before adding more, until the rice is just tender. (You may not need to add all 6 cups.) The cooking time from the first addition of broth should be 18-20 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and pepper; serve at once.
