Paul Heathcote's mushroom risotto recipe is given a rich boost with the addition of truffle oil and Parmesan. This is a fantastic risotto to make utilising a number of kitchen cupboard staples to make a delicious meal. For the mushrooms, use a selection of wild mushrooms or button mushrooms, and if making this for a vegetarian, replace the Parmesan with a cheese free of animal rennet
Method
1.
To begin the risotto, use 50g of the butter to fry the mushrooms in a saucepan until light brown in colour. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until soft for a further 30 seconds
2.
Stir in the rice and cook until transparent. Pour in the wine and stir in well
3.
Add stock a little at a time, stirring constantly until all is absorbed and creamy and the rice is cooked. Add more stock the rice is still slightly undercooked
4.
Season with sea salt and freshly milled pepper and a little olive oil and the remaining 50g butter. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and truffle oil and serve
