Method
1
Wipe the mushrooms with dry brush or small knife, do not rinse them in water, they get soggy easily.
2
Melt half the Lurpak® in a frying pan, add onion/shallots and garlic. Cook over a low heat for a few minutes, add the rice, and stir until the rice is see-through, add the white wine, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, heat the stock until boiling and turn down to a simmer. Gradually add the hot stock a ladleful at a time, stirring continuously until the stock has absorbed after each addition. It takes about 15-18 minutes, it should be al dente, that is, with bite and creamy in texture, then it is done.
4
While stirring the risotto, in another pan fry the mushrooms in 1 tbsp of butter for a few minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper.
5
Finish the risotto, stir in the remaining butter with the Parmesan, season to taste with salt and pepper, leave the risotto to sit with the lid on for 1 minute – the mantecatura, as the Italians call it.
6
Serve the risotto with mushrooms on top, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with Parmesan on the side.
