Gorgonzola and Porcini Mushroom Risotto
- 4 cups (1 quart) low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup (3 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the porcini mushrooms.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set aside for 30 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms and set aside.
- Reheat the broth to a simmer and keep hot over low heat.
- In a large, heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and mushrooms and cook until the onion is tender but not brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add the rice and stir to coat with the butter.
- Add the wine and simmer until the wine has almost evaporated, about 3 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of the broth and stir until almost completely absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, and allowing each addition to be absorbed, until the rice is tender but still firm to the bite and the mixture is creamy, about 20 minutes in total.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the Parmesan, Gorgonzola, chives, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer the risotto to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately.
