Creamy mushroom risotto
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cups thinly sliced J-M portabella mushrooms
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 2 sprigs Scissortail Farms thyme
- 5–6 cups chicken stock, warmed
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Hiland Dairy butter
- 1/4 cup shredded Loveras Caciocavera cheese
Directions
Sauté the chopped onion in the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, stirring gently until slightly brown. Stir in the rice and allow this mixture to heat up while stirring gently. Add in the thyme and 1 cup of warm stock. Stir in wine. Once this mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to medium, stirring gently throughout the process and adding the stock as it thickens, 1 cup at a time for about 20 minutes. Once the rice has fully cooked, stir in the butter, then half of the Caciocavera cheese, fully incorporating into the rice. The risotto should be served at once. Remove the thyme sprigs, and garnish with the remaining cheese
