Mushroom Rissotto

Ingredients

Butter (divided) 9 tbsp

Wild Mushrooms (fresh) 600 g

Low-salt Veg Broth 7 cup

Olive Oil (extra-virgin) 1 tbsp

Leek (finely chopped) 3/4 cup

Arborio Rice 1 1/4 cup

Dry White Wine 1/4 cup

Dry White Vermouth 1/4 cup

Parmesan Cheese (grated) 1/4 cup

Preparation

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of mushrooms and sprinkle with salt. Sauté mushrooms until tender and beginning to brown, for 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to medium bowl. Working in three more batches, repeat with six tablespoons butter, remaining mushrooms, and salt and pepper.

Bring seven cups chicken broth to simmer in medium saucepan; keep warm. Melt remaining 1.5 tablespoons butter with olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add leek, sprinkle with salt, and sauté until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice and increase heat to medium. Stir until edges of rice begin to look translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add white wine and vermouth and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup warm chicken broth; stir until almost all broth is absorbed, in about 1 minute. Continue adding broth by 3/4 cupfuls, stirring until almost all broth is absorbed before adding more, until rice is halfway cooked, about 10 minutes. Stir in sautéed mushrooms. Continue adding broth by 3/4 cupfuls, stirring until almost all broth is absorbed before adding more, until rice is tender but still firm to bite and risotto is creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, if using. Transfer risotto to serving bowl. Pass additional Parmesan cheese alongside, if desired.
