Ingredients
- 8 cups Vegetable Broth
- 4 tbs Truffle Oil
- 2 cups Yellow Onion Chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 cup Carnaroli Rice Can sub Arborio
- 2 tbs Butter Unsalted
- 1 cup White Wine
- 1/2 cup Grana Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated
- 2 oz Truffles 1 grated, 1 shaved
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Risotto require a lot of "hands on" time, so try to measure and portion out as much as you can before you start cooking.
- Put the broth into a large pot and begin heating. We want it almost boiling, but not quite there.
- Put the truffle oil in a pan and add the onion and 1/2 tsp of salt. I used medium heat here. (Note that I've since come to the conclusion this is a waste of truffle oil – the heat subdues the taste). I'd suggest using olive oil here and then stirring in at least 2 tbs of truffle oil at the very end after the risotto is removed from the heat.
- Stir until the onions have wilted well.
- Add the rice. Continue stirring until you hear a clicking sound. Probably a couple minutes of time.
- Add the wine and continue stirring until all of the moisture is gone.
- Ladle in 2 cups of broth.
- Stir until the liquid is largely absorbed.
- Add another 2 cups of broth. Stir again until the liquid is absorbed.
- I found this to be a good opportunity to grate one of my two truffles. I grated it onto the Parmesan cheese as we'll add both at the same time in a few minutes.
- Add another 2 cups of broth. Stir again until the risotto has reached a consistency and texture that you are happy with. Make any small adjustments necessary.
- Remove the risotto from the heat. Add your butter and quickly stir it into the dish.
- Add your cheese and grated truffle. Stir well.
- Plate your risotto.
- Shave fresh truffle over the top. Add your morels.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- For the morel mushrooms, I used my recipe for Pan Fried Morels.
- This was my first time making a risotto and with the rare combination of morels and truffles, I didn’t want to mess it up. As such, a lot of credit for Eataly for providing the base recipe which I only make a few tweaks to.
