Instructions

Roast mushrooms

1 Roast mushrooms

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.
  • Tear or chop the chestnut mushrooms into small pieces.
  • Add the chestnut mushrooms to a baking tray with a drizzle of oil and a generous pinch of salt.
  • Roast for 20 min.
Prep

2 Prep

  • Boil the measured water.
  • Add the dried porcini mushrooms, stock cube and boiled water to a jug.
  • Set the mushroom stock aside.
  • Peel and finely chop the onion.
  • Peel and mince the garlic.
Parmesan crisp

3 Parmesan crisp

  • Line a second baking tray with baking paper.
  • Add the grated Parmesan to the tray in 4 circular mounds.
  • Bake for 7-8 min or until the cheese has completely melted and the edges are starting to brown.
  • Once melted, remove the tray from the oven.
  • Set aside to cool.
Start risotto

4 Start risotto

  • Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan over a medium-low heat with a drizzle of olive oil and the butter.
  • Once hot, add the onion and the whole thyme sprigs.
  • Cook for 5-6 min or until softened.
  • Once softened, add the garlic and Arborio rice.
  • Cook for 1 min further, stirring to coat the grains in the oil.
Finish risotto

5 Finish risotto

  • Add 1/3 of the stock and stir continuously until it has absorbed.
  • Continue to add the stock (along with the porcini mushrooms), a little at a time.
  • Continue for 20 min or until all the stock is absorbed and the risotto is cooked 'al dente'.
Tip! The amount of stock you will require, depends on the size of your pan and the heat over which you simmer the risotto. Make sure to adjust the amount accordingly.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Once the risotto is cooked, carefully fish out the thyme stems and discard.
  • Add the roasted mushrooms, 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the Grana padano.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the Classic Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan Crisp on top.
