Risotto ai funghi porcini

Risotto ai funghi porcini is a traditional type of risotto prepared with porcini mushrooms as the key ingredient. Apart from fresh or dried porcini, the dish also contains carnaroli or arborio rice, olive oil, butter, shallots, white wine, meat stock, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, and pepper.


The onion is sautéed in butter and olive oil, followed by the mushrooms, rice, and white wine. The stock is added as the risotto is cooking. Near the end of cooking, a knob of butter is added to the pan, while grated cheese can be mixed into the risotto in the end or it can be served at the table so that each person can put the desired amount of cheese on their risotto.
