Cooking For King Charles III - Wild Mushroom Risotto
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- I remember foraging for wild mushrooms with King Charles III and Antonio Carlucci on the 50,000 acre Balmoral estate. We came back and sautéed and froze enough wild mushrooms to last months for the royal table. In this video I am dehydrating wild mushrooms (they keep even longer) using the PARIS RHONE dehydrator and they have agreed to discount the price if you click on the link below and type in the code. I am also giving a dehydrator away on my Instagram page this week too.

King Charles loves Italian food and I remember cooking this for him. Here's the recipe;
Wild Mushroom Risotto
Makes 4 portions
2 cups dried mushrooms
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 TBS olive oil
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
salt and pepper to taste
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh chopped fresh herbs
Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl and pour two cups warm water over them rehydrate. Set aside for 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and the keep the liquid.
In a heavy-bottomed pot add the rice and stir to coat the grains with butter. Add 2 full ladles of the chicken broth mixture to the rice. Stir and simmer over low heat until the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the liquid from the mushrooms.
Continue to add more broth one ladle at a time, stirring every few minutes. Each time, cook until the mixture seems a little dry before adding more. Add the wild mushrooms, Continue cooking until the rice is cooked through, but still al dente, nutty in texture, about 20 minutes total.
When done, the risotto should be thick and creamy and not at all dry. Off the heat, stir in the cheese and sprinkle the chives on top before serving.

During WWII, my family had a large enough "victory garden" that they had a neighboring farmer plow it with a horse. The USDA published a booklet on how to dry vegetables in the sun. Maybe in Arizona, but the sun did not do it in Michigan! Dad made little wooden frames covered with cheese cloth that fit in Mother's oven rack. With very low heat, that dried things easily.
Later, when in my teens, I grew a lot of sweet corn. Mother did the same with it. Put in a regular fruit jar, it kept well into the winter. With no freezers back then, we thought dried corn was miles better than tin can corn!
Thank you thank you thank you. I was wondering when you were going to post another video. I wish you would post one every week. We love you chef.
Quality over Quantity
When I lived in Italy I learned how to make risotto from the kind women of the village I lived in. We would pick mushrooms and go back and make the risotto after a few days. I have moved back to the US after my husband’s death. I have to thank you for bringing back memories of a wonderful time in my life. Guess who is making risotto this weekend? Happy Holidays,Darren!
Darren is back ! It’s nice to see an upload.
1:14 I really like risotto. This looks delicious! The mushrooms would add that fresh nutty taste. Super!
Perfect!! King Charles is a definition of his generation!! King Charles is a environmentalists, and dirty hippie!! This dish is perfect for him!!
Shut up don’t be rude
@@louisbeerreviews8964 LMAO 🤣 😆
So good to see you back again Darren. I've missed your stories and recipes
I'm not vegetarian, but I love a mostly meatless diet. This dish has the heartiness of meat from both mushrooms and rice. Yum!
Love watching your videos and hearing about your royal escapades! Keep them coming…
Love Your Recipes Darling…& I find your stories as soothing as hunting for mushrooms. Thank You. Absolute Honor.
Gorgeous recipe! I love the way almost any fresh vegetable from the garden or foraged like mushrooms can be added to a risotto, and is elevated by it.
Wonderful! I am glad you did this video on dehydrating mushrooms! I love mushrooms.
Darren just saw The Crown latest episodes and Diana mentions you when she’s showing her fridge to Charles. Have to say I reacted like a total fanboy when I heard your name 😂☺️ Have you collaborated in any way with the producers? Cheers
I Just wanted to wright the same 🦋
You do know it’s fictional events based on reality? It’s not real it’s amplified and isn’t accurate
@@handsoffmycactus2958 I’m sure everyone knows the crown isn’t a documentary.
@@handsoffmycactus2958 jeez, thanks for that
@@handsoffmycactus2958 oh wow really? That isn't them? I thought it was home videos. Wow. Learn something new every day.
Risotto is one of my all time favorite dishes!!! Recently, I had Bison Risotto. I can't begin to tell you how good that was. It was a Bison tenderloin sliced over a Chanterelle Mushroom Risotto. I have GOT to try to make your risotto, and if it doesn't turn out, oh well, try - eat - try - eat until I get it right! Thank you for this!!!
"I'll make you a porcini risotto!" "Now now you know I don't like that fancy food, I'll be happy with just some mushrooms and rice"
As always another great video, really enjoy watching your channel on here and listening to all those great stories of yours working within the royal family, what an amazing experience that would have been. I really enjoy hearing about them all I miss England so much and live in Canada now so it’s nice to hear all those stories from home. Take good care Darren
Your videos are so insightful. I would love to see more videos where mushrooms and winter veggies are the stars of the show. Yum! :)
.
Mushroom Risotto is my absolute favourite dish, I can't get enough of it.
I dehydrate all of the time but haven't tried mushrooms. There's a mushroom farm near me. I have a new food to dehydrate.
Merry Christmas Darren! Thanks for all the great recipes and stories. You make it all look so easy.
Please make more Videos of Food that the Royal Family Loved to eat and Specially More of the Food that King Charles III Enjoyed! 🤗❤
Why?
Definitely a labor of love
I only just discovered your channel, but I am smitten! What delightful company you and Winston are. 😍
Risotto ai funghi.. omg it's just the best!
I don’t think I have ever had risotto but maybe it is time to try it! Yours looks lovely! P S Like your new Chef shirt!!
Darren,
When cooking for the Royal Family did you ever have a dish rejected? Plus your cooking videos have ignited a passion I didn’t know I had for cooking. Thank you!!!
Maybe by Meghan, but that’s bullying lol
This has me thinking of the BRAT diet, which isn't culinary by any means but rather a medical diet that can be easily digested. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast.
I never thought of Risotto as health food, but the combination of rice and chicken stock certainly is a comfort food, much in the same way chicken soup is.
I won't wait till I'm needing an easily digestable meal to try this recipe, but I will give it a try if I do.
Thanks again Chef!
It’s long been disputed as a diet which provides no benefit for gastrointestinal upset / distress. It’s too restrictive and it isn’t good for you.
@@handsoffmycactus2958, I'm sure its not meant for long term. A medical Doctor told me about it, and yes, all components are easily digested. Have a nice day.
I’m not a massive fan of mushrooms but I’d happily eat that….looks fab!
What? Eating Royally here in Dallas?!! I'm so going to be a new patron!! Bringing my oldest daughter..... who when she got married, hey bridal shower we had a proper tea party. I even purchased the Queen's Tea from England just for the event! I'm beyond excited!!!!
MY NEW OBSESSION!!!
Thank you for another great recipe!
Love mushrooms, too!!
I would totally use that dehydrator to make all sorts of packable meals for my backpacking adventures!
Darren, you are a treasure. I love your stories of your time with the royals. I’ve also picked up many cooking tips. 😊
Yum yum!!
Very likable guy,cooks his food with conjugate touch.
With food like this,I'll enjoy excursions
Always an enjoyable video. Wonderful.
Mushrooms must be a dime a dozen in texas. You dropping shrooms, like your at one of my partys in the 80's.
I have an all stainless steel dehydrator that I use for jerky. I'm fairly certain that dehydration of meats goes back thousands of years to the indians in what is now Mexico.
Delicious as always dear chef! Wowowow
Oh I love this channel 😍😍😍 and the royals as well ❤️🩹
SO EXCITED!!! ❤
Yay! I haven’t seen Winston in a minute!
OMG! Looks so good you make BEST MEALS ❤
Amazing- I now know what Rossotto is and how to cook it. Thank you Darren!!!!
Lovely!!!! Wait….Winston….talks???😉!!! Nice!❤😂😂😂😂
I like grinding the dried mushrooms into a powder and sprinkling them into dishes. I use dried porchini mushrooms ground into a powder in my fried chicken flour mixture 😋
Yummy
@@Darren_McGrady @Darren_McGrady it is delicious...highly recommend. P.s. I made your "spaggy bol" tonight for dinner it was delicious!
Darren, absolutely delicious food your always making.
I’m heading out today to get the hydration appliance.
Even in Arizona the weather has dropped.
I’ll be making this wonderful tummy warming dish this week.
Thank you❣️
Sending love from the PH🇵🇭
wish the camera had zoomed in on the drying mushrooms and the finished risotto! I've always been slightly afraid of making risoto, but you made it look so easy I just have to make it now!
Best cooking show there is.
Loved your videos so much … but this background music whilst speaking at the same time is disturbing for me. I had to watch in mute modus with subtitles, which is really a pity, cause I love your voice and the way you are speaking.
Sorry about that. Noted
I was going to say the same thing. The music is extremely distracting.
@@ItIsJustJudy not really. Its very nice. You just focus on it too much because its good music. Maybe having it a bit lower suffices. But crying about something you see in every TV cookshow is just a laugh
I accidentally bit the screen of my TV trying to get to the risotto before Winston!
Congratulations Mr. Darren is similar to the Italian recipe, the only difference is the final creaming where we add a spoonful of butter, stirring with the heat off. Let it rest for three minutes and then serve.
that looks really delicious!
Wonderful. I love risotto and mushrooms as well. Yum!
That must smell amazing. HUGS
That looks fab!
Thank you very much, always enjoyable seeing you cook. Happy Holidays
I would recommend getting better lighting or making the video brighter in editing for the video as it kind hard to see if you don't have good eyesight.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear you say “wood ear”… I thought it was only particular to Asia! Whilst we have quite the variety of mushrooms here, porcini is not one of them and so expensive to buy when available in supermarket. I enjoy your videos and like your recipes. Thank you
God bless the King :)
That’s magic 🎉
Hi. Just wanted to say I love watching your channel. I tried your royal short bread cookies. They were so delicious. :)
Thank you!
Looks like a good eat!❤
if its good enough for a royal chef its good enough for perfection
That looks absolutly delish
Mushroom risotto - outstanding 👍❤👍❤👍
I adore mushrooms, your dish looks absolutely yummmy.
Just found you. My son has bushels of mushrooms picked and in the hydrator. Now I am heading to the store to get short grain rice
You were mentioned in the Crown. Probably the only fact In that drama
He said it was probably the only fact on twitter
That looks delicious, I absolutely adore mushrooms
Love watching your videos. Can't wait until your cookbooks are back so I can order one. I missed out the first time around. Love to dry my herbs and spices and store in mason jars...❤
The food looks great, as always! It may be my monitor, but the video seemed a little dark this time around.
Mince pie recipe would be great!
I like it!
Un piatto da Re 😀👏
Nice.
I love this man so much
You are a whizz in the kitchen..so talented...I very much like your videos ...bravo.
He was a professional cook after all. Good he's teaching the viewer.
Hi Darren. I just adore you. I’m so glad to see you back. I’ve actually been worried about you. 😊 I have enjoyed every single one of your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing such special memories through your love of food!
I followed the link for the dehydrator giveaway but I couldn’t find anything about it.
Love this !
Yummy
กำลังทานอยู่ค่ะเชิญชิม
What? No wine in the risotto?
If you don't use onion, you don't need the wine to balance its sweetness.
Nice Royal Wild Mushroom Risotto there Mr Darren McGrady. But am also waiting for Uncle Vinnie From "Vincenzos Plate" does a review on your Wild Mushroom Risotto.
I started drinking tea USA
Well, dehydrating has been around for "over 100 years" which includes thousands of years so no complaint :-)
How about us older folks who don’t have Instagram? Give us a chance to win.
dehydrating has been around for more like 10,000 years i'd say
My mouth is watering! I think I have smellovision. 🤪
DARREN! I just watched the latest season of the crown and I think you got name-dropped in an episode where Diana tried to cook an omlette!
Yummy 😋
Music is a bit distracting but I love your videos
Looks AMAZING!
Superb Darren. I like watching all your videos doing wonderful dishes and giving the common man a glimpse of what the royals ate. Good going.
Esay but tasty
What does the King think of garlic ?
Wow Yum I will cook right now!
