Morel Risotto Decadence
Honorable Mention, Earthy Delights 2009 Morel Recipe Contest
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped morels
1 cup chopped red onions
1 - 1/2 tsp dry thyme
2 cups Arborio rice
Preparation:
Add fresh ground pepper, but no salt yet
Sauté in 1 TBS ghee(or browned butter) with 1 TBS olive oil
until onions are soft, and rice is slightly transparent
Cook for 18 to 20 minutes, adding heated chicken stock
two cups at a time, and stirring often until rice is al dente.
The more you stir, and creamier the dish will be. Let the dish get dry for the last couple of minutes, stirring constantly to avoid sticking.
Add 1 cup of freshly grated picaroon romano or grana padama cheese
Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream
Add sea salt to taste, another grind of fresh pepper
and serve with shavings of cheese on top.
