Ingredients

Ingredients photo for Risotto Aux Champignons Facile Recipe

  • Riz pour risotto: riche en amidon, crée la texture crémeuse, apporte glucides pour énergie
  • Champignons de Paris: pauvres en calories, fibres, un peu de protéines, donnent un goût umami profond
  • Oignon ou échalote: saveur douce-salée, antioxydants, booste la base aromatique du risotto
  • Ail: puissant, donne du caractère et des composés bénéfiques pour le système immunitaire
  • Bouillon: hydrate, apporte sel et profondeur, peut être léger ou bien corsé selon ton choix
  • Parmesan râpé: ajoute salé et richesse protéines et calcium attention au sodium
  • Beurre et huile d’olive: beurre donne crémeux, huile apporte graisses saines et parfum fruité

Ingredient Quantities

  • 300 g de riz pour risotto (arborio ou carnaroli)
  • 400 g de champignons de Paris, émincés
  • 1 petit oignon ou 2 échalotes
  • 2 gousses d’ail
  • 1 litre de bouillon de volaille ou de légumes
  • 100 ml de vin blanc sec
  • 50 g de beurre
  • 2 c. à soupe d’huile d’olive
  • 60 g de parmesan râpé
  • quelques brins de persil frais
  • 1 c. à café de thym frais ou 1/2 c. à café de thym séché
  • sel et poivre du moulin

How to Make this

1. Put 1 litre of chicken or vegetable stock in a saucepan and keep it at a gentle simmer while you cook so it stays hot.

2. In a wide heavy pan heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 25 g of the butter over medium heat; add the finely chopped small onion or 2 finely sliced shallots and cook until soft and translucent but not brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.

3. Add 300 g risotto rice (arborio or carnaroli) to the pan and stir for 1 to 2 minutes so each grain is glossy and slightly toasted, scraping the bottom so nothing sticks.

4. Pour in the 100 ml dry white wine and let it bubble away until mostly absorbed, stirring so the rice releases its starch.

5. Start adding the hot stock one ladle at a time, stirring often and allowing each ladle to be mostly absorbed before adding the next; keep this up for about 16 to 18 minutes until the rice is creamy and just al dente. Taste as you go.

6. While the rice cooks, heat the remaining 25 g butter in a separate frying pan with a bit of olive oil, add the 400 g sliced mushrooms, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, salt and pepper, and cook over medium high heat until the mushrooms are nicely browned and their liquid has evaporated, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves in the last 30 seconds and give a quick stir.

7. When the risotto is almost done and still a touch loose, fold the mushrooms into the rice, then remove the pan from the heat.

8. Stir in 60 g grated Parmesan and the last tiny knob of butter to make it silky, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If it feels too thick add a splash of hot stock to loosen it.

9. Let the risotto sit for 1 to 2 minutes off the heat, then serve immediately topped with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if you like. Don’t overcook it or let it sit too long or it will get gluey.

Equipment Needed

1. Large saucepan (to keep 1 litre stock gently simmering)
2. Wide heavy bottomed pan or large sauté pan (for the risotto)
3. Frying pan (for browning the mushrooms)
4. Wooden spoon or heatproof spatula (for constant stirring)
5. Ladle (to add the hot stock one scoop at a time)
6. Sharp chef’s knife and cutting board (for onion, garlic and parsley)
7. Measuring jug or cups and kitchen scales (for the wine, stock and gram measurements)
8. Fine grater for Parmesan and a serving spoon or tongs

FAQ

A: Arborio ou carnaroli, les deux marchent. Carnaroli garde un peu mieux la tenue, Arborio cuit un peu plus vite. Ne rince pas le riz, tu veux garder l amidon pour la crème.

A: Oui, crimini, shiitaké ou pleurotes conviennent très bien. Pour les champignons surgelés, laisse-les décongeler et presse l eau avant de les cuire pour éviter d inonder le risotto.

A: Utilise un bouillon chaud, ajoute-le louche par louche et remue régulièrement mais pas non stop. Goûte souvent, stoppe quand le riz est al dente, incorpore beurre et parmesan hors du feu pour la finition.

A: Oui, prends un bouillon de légumes et attention au parmesan car certains contiennent de la présure animale, choisis-en un étiqueté végétarien ou remplace par levure nutritionnelle ou pecorino végétal.

A: Remets dans une poêle à feu doux avec une petite quantité de bouillon ou d eau, remue pour détendre la texture, ajoute un peu de beurre et de parmesan juste avant de servir. Évite le micro ondes si tu peux.

A: Les grains doivent être al dente, encore un léger coeur, la texture doit être onctueuse et légèrement coulante, pas sèche. Si c est trop ferme, ajoute un peu de bouillon et laisse cuire une minute ou deux.

Risotto Aux Champignons Facile Recipe Substitutions and Variations

  • Riz pour risotto : si vous avez pas d’arborio ou carnaroli utilisez du riz à grain court type sushi, ou de l’orge perlé pour une texture un peu plus ferme mais sympa.
  • Champignons de Paris : remplacez par shiitake, pleurotes ou cèpes (frais ou surgelés), ou même un mix de champis sauvage pour plus de goût.
  • Bouillon de volaille ou légumes : vous pouvez faire eau + cube de bouillon, ou utiliser du bouillon miso pour un umami plus profond, ou remplacer partiellement par du vin blanc si vous voulez moins de sel.
  • Parmesan râpé : remplacez par pecorino romano ou grana padano, ou pour une version vegan utilisez de la levure nutritionnelle.

Pro Tips

1) Mise en place is everything, seriously. Have your ladle, cheese, butter and a bowl for the mushrooms right by the stove so you dont hunt for things mid-cook.

2) For really brown, flavorful mushrooms dont crowd the pan and use high heat. Salt them near the end so they brown instead of steaming, and finish with a tiny splash of butter or wine to glaze them.

3) Stir often but not like mad, you want the rice to rub against itself so it releases starch, not get mashed. If the cheese looks clumpy, add a spoon of hot stock and whisk it in to help it smooth out.

4) Taste the rice a couple minutes before the recipe time since every batch is different. Take it off while its still a touch firm, the carryover will finish it, and that way you avoid gluey, overcooked risotto.
