Serves
2
  • 700ml stock (preferably homemade chicken or vegetable)
  • bunch wild garlic
  • 2 handfuls chestnut (or other fresh) mushrooms
  • 10 dried porcini mushrooms
  • 50ml vermouth/100ml white wine
  • splash dry sherry
  • 1 mug of arborrio (or other) risotto rice
  • 1 medium onion
  • knob butter, olive oil, S&P
  • 1/2 lemon
Method/steps
  1. Break up porcinis in a bowl, add a splash of sherry and enough water to soak (about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the bowl)
  2. Whilst they are soaking chop onion very finely, chop mushrooms fairly roughly and chop wild garlic width ways into fine 0.5cm strips
  3. In a large deep pan melt the butter over a medium heat, add a splash of olive oil
  4. When the butter foam dies down add onions and saute for 10 mins
  5. Heat stock to a bare simmer in a seperate pan
  6. Add in porcini mushroms with their juices, raise the heat and burn off liquid
  7. Add chestnut mushrooms, cook for a minute
  8. Add rice, cook for a minute then add vermouth/white wine, burn off liquid
  9. Now add in first ladle of stock, cook until absorbed then keep adding stock, ladle by ladle, stirring and absorbing in between
  10. Rice will be ready in 15-20 mins, basically when stock has all been incorporated (start checking it at about 12-15 mins)
  11. When it's done stir in the wild garlic and lemon juice, cover and leave to rest for a couple of minutes, serve with bread, salad, and a cheeky little white/light but earthy red.
