Steinpilzrisotto Zutaten

Preparation

  1. Soak or thaw porcini mushrooms in hot water until they have the desired consistency. For this, the boletus should be completely covered.
  2. Cut shallots or onions into small cubes
  3. Bring the vegetable broth to the boil 

Cooking method

    1. Braise the shallot or onion cubes in olive oil (2 tbsp) in a steel saucepan until translucent.
    2. Add risotto rice and sauté over medium-high heat until it becomes glassy. Then deglaze with a good dash of dry white wine or Vermouth and let it soak in.
    3. Add the porcini mushrooms together with the thawing or soaking water into the hot vegetable broth at medium heat and let them soak into the rice while stirring constantly. It is really important to keep stirring the risotto so that it doesn't stick to the pan. Do this until the rice is al dente and still has a slight bite. (Duration approx. 25min)
    4. Then remove from the heat and season with freshly grated Parmesan, flor de sal and cold truffle oil. Let it rest for a few minutes. This is essential to give the risotto its oozy texture.
    5. Meanwhile, lightly fry the prawns in olive oil and chopped garlic and add some flor de sal and lemon juice to taste. (optional as a garnish)

Serving

    1. Put a portion of porcini risotto in a ladle and press in with a slotted spoon. Then turn out the dome of rice onto the plate. Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan over it and garnish with a fresh sprig of parsley.
    2. Optional: Garnish with the shrimps, a little rocket and half a cherry tomato.
