Mushroom, saffron, and pancetta risotto
Risotto holds a special place in my heart. When I
was 18 my mom took me to London for a long weekend and we went to the
club where Jamie Oliver was working (he was barely famous then), and I
had a red wine risotto. I like to add the mushrooms at the end so they
don't get soggy. Saute diced pancetta in a little oil, add sliced
mushrooms and season. I am adding some dried porcini mushrooms that have
been rehydrated in boiling water and strained and chopped. In a
separate pan saute one diced onion and add arborio rice. Season and
saute until the rice becomes translucent. Add warm stock little by
little, constantly stirring for approximately 20 minutes. Don't forget
your saffron. When rice is all dente add grated parmesan and a little
butter and let sit, covered for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
