Mushroom Risotto With Peas


We made this with all white mushrooms instead of what the recipe called for. I've posted it the way giada d meant it to be. I can only say how good it was the way it was made here.

Steps


Bring the broth to a simmer in a heavy saucepan and add the porcini mushrooms.
Set aside until the mushrooms are tender , about 5 minutes.
Keep broth warm over very low heat.
In a heavy large saucepan over medium heat , melt butter and add olive oil.
Add the onions and saute until tender , about 8 minutes.
Add the white mushrooms and garlic.
Using a slotted spoon , transfer the porcini mushrooms to a cutting board , chop finely and add to the saucepan.
Saute until the mushrooms are tender and the juices evaporaate , about 5 minutes.
Stir in the rice and let it toast for a few minutes.
Add the wine.
Cook until the liquid is absorbed , stirring often , about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of hot broth.
Simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid is absorbed , stirring often , about 3 minutes.
Continue to cook until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy , adding more broth by cupfuls and stirring often , about 28 minutes.
Stir in the peas.
Mix in the parmesan cheese.
