    **RECIPE, SERVES TWO**
    16 oz (1/2 kilo) mushrooms
    1 onion
    1-2 carrots
    1-2 celery stalks
    1-2 shallots
    4-6 cloves of garlic
    1 cup (200g) risotto rice
    butter
    cognac (or white wine, or water/stock + a little balsamic vinegar)
    parmesan or pecorino cheese (or vegan sour cream instead of cheese and butter)
    olive oil
    chives
    salt
    pepper
    Pull the stems out of all the mushrooms and wash the stems, if necessary. In a large sauce pan, fry the stems in olive oil until thoroughly browned. Roughly chop the onion, carrots and celery, and put them in with the stems. Cook the vegetables until they're starting to brown, stirring constantly. Cover everything in water and simmer for about two hours. Strain, discard the solids, and season the stock with salt (and/or MSG) to taste.
    Slice the mushroom caps into big chunks. Finely chop the shallots and garlic. In a wide pan, start heating a big knob of butter and a glug of olive oil. Put in the mushrooms and sauté until most of their water has come out and evaporated and the mushrooms are thoroughly browned.
    Push the mushrooms to the rim of the pan and dump the shallots in the center. Stir and fry the shallots for a moment, then dump in the garlic and stir to combine everything in the pan. Make another well in the center of the pan then dump in the rice. Stir the rice and let it brown for a moment, then stir to combine everything in the pan.
    If using cognac or wine, deglaze with a big splash of it now. If not, deglaze with water/stock and put in a little glug of balsamic vinegar. Then add enough stock to more than cover the rice, and let is simmer aggressively until absorbed, stirring occasionally.
    Then start adding additional stock in small doses and stirring constantly until the rice is almost cooked (which you should test by tasting). If you run out of your mushroom stock, just use water. When the rice is almost cooked, turn the heat off and stir in a big knob of butter and a big pile of grated cheese (or vegan sour cream instead of butter and cheese), and black pepper and additional salt to taste.
    Serve and top with fresh chopped chives.

    Q: Why did you call it "sodium chloride" instead of calling it salt?
    A: Because I was drawing a connection between salt and MSG - pointing out that they both contain sodium, and can both be used to season food. I also think that sometimes people avoid MSG because it has a scary chemical name, and I was pointing out that normal salt has a chemical name too. There are, nonetheless, some legitimate concerns about MSG, which I discuss here: ua-cam.com/video/E-POAKKH5IM/v-deo.html Also, some people below are "correcting" me, saying that the salt in the video is iodized table salt - and that is not true. It's Morton kosher salt, which is not iodized.
    Q: Why did you bother making your own stock when you have previously said you don't?
    A: In those videos I was talking about chicken stock, which I usually don't make time to make myself. This is a veggie stock, which is much easier to make. Even then, I don't make this stock every time I make this risotto, as I said in the video. You certainly don't have to make it.
    Q: Didn't you say in your previous risotto video that continuous stirring is unnecessary? ua-cam.com/video/GbgyJ5YOD0E/v-deo.html
    A: Yes, and I cooked the risotto in this video in exactly the same way. I add most of the stock at the beginning and just let it cook. Then I start adding the remaining stock in small doses, stirring constantly. I don't do this because it supposedly makes the risotto more creamy (I think that's a myth), but rather I add the stock in small doses purely because I have no idea how much more stock the rice is going to absorb, and I don't want to put in too much. The reason I stir continuously at that stage is to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and to make sure it cooks evenly, which are things you need to worry about when there isn't much free liquid in the pan.
    Q: Aren't you supposed to add hot stock to risotto?
    A: I've made risotto many times with hot stock and with room-temperature stock, and I've never noticed a difference in the texture or the cooking time. Maybe it makes a difference when you're making a huge batch of risotto in a commercial context? When you're just making a couple portions in a pan, the pan heats up the stock real fast when you pour it in, especially if you're using a wide pan, which is why I prefer a wide pan for risotto.
    Q: Why did you say "risottos" instead of "risotti"?
    A: It's quite common for English speakers to use the s plural with Italian loan words. Certainly when I went to music school, I met a few Americans who said "tempi" instead of "tempos," and yeah, I always thought they sounded a little pompous. But this is an issue upon which reasonable people can disagree.
    Q: Did you know about this method for cooking mushrooms in water, allowing you to brown them without dehydrating them and also causing them to soak up less oil? ua-cam.com/video/XLPLCmwBLBY/v-deo.html
    A: I didn't! Interesting! I have to say, though, this strikes me as a solution to something that I don't consider to be a problem. I think one of the things that makes cooked mushrooms so delicious is that you've driven off the water and replaced it with delicious fat.
    Q: Is trimming the stems or taking them out entirely an American thing?
    A: I have no idea if it's an American thing. It's pretty common for people to trim the ends off the stem because the ends are often a little decomposed and/or have dirt on them. With bigger mushrooms, sometimes people don't like the tougher, stringier texture of the stem, so they take it out. I usually don't take the stems out entirely, unless I'm making this recipe.

      makes sense, any broth or stock needs at least a little seasoning, it's one of those background flavors you cant detect but without it the food can seem somewhat lacking in a way you cant really describe. I see the same thing with Thai food, alot of people avoid fish sauce thinking it will give the food a fishy taste so they leave it out and their stir fries wind up kind of flat and bland, so they usually try to compensate by using extra soy sauce which just isnt the same. They tend to do the same thing with oyster sauce (which despite the name doesnt have any oysters in it, its basically thick swee saltyt soy sauce), they tend to leave that out also assuming it will give things a fishy taste or that its too thick so they leave it out, which effects the flavor and texture since now their seasonings are too thin and just get sucked up by the rice and you wind up with salty rice with plain veggies instead of a good stir fry.

    @Stdagger 4 роки тому +1050

    Love the use of the wild alliums as a replacement for chives. They go by a ton of names (onion grass, wild green onions, wild garlic, etc) but as far as I recall the proper name of that one is field garlic (allium vineale) so if you want to learn more about them that's the name to put into google to get to the right information (look up wild onions and you'll probably get stuff like ramps). They're also an invasive species in North America so eating them is helping out the environment in addition to saving money.
    Also, they seem to have things completely backwards of most other plants as they sprout in the late fall and grow through the winter and flower in the spring... for some reason...
    And also relevant to cooking if you ever buy beef or milk products and they reek of garlic odor, this plant is probably why. It hasn't gone off, the animal just probably grazed on a bunch of these which can impart a garlic-like flavor and aroma to animal products (not ideal for milk, but hard to say it's a bad thing with steak)

    It breaks down gourmet quality inn simple ways like Food Wishes, keeping it accessible for noobs but not too redundant for the more experienced.
    Also some good campy humor like Chef John, but with the occasional smarter joke.
    Nuggets of cinematography that apply Peter McKinnon's kinda of visual appreciation of coffee and broaden it to the whole kitchen, all without losing focus on the informative value.
    All the bits of gastronomy that go into just the right amount of detail to really broaden ones understanding while still being focused on practical application in the home kitchen.
    Even managing to give great air time to sponsors without ever feeling intrusive to the viewer.

      Why do people throw them out? the only thing i can think of is its a holdover from when mushrooms were wild (many mushrooms have tough stems but cultivated ones are bred to be soft). Some things like sifting flour are just holdovers from when it actually had a purpose, like with sifting it's useless now since flour doesnt clump as bad as it used to thanks to better packaging and quality control, and its sifted before packaging. It used to be common back when people used mill stones instead of metallic mills to also get tiny bits of stone or sand in your flour from the milling process.

      I have 3 roommates and i work a ton so I'm rarely home whereas they're usually home, they also love to wander into the kitchen whenever i try to cook so i generally only get small windows of time in the kitchen. It's rare for me to have the house to myself but when i do I tend to spend the whole time cooking. I had 2 hours of alone time last weekend, and just like Adam I wanted to make a food I love but everyone else doesn't so I spent it cooking a fancy daal (indian lentil soup).

    Hey Adam,
    this was my first time making Risotto!!
    I followed your recipe but to save time i made stock with a veggie stock cube and the stems of the mushrooms of course (just half an hour boil).
    Also instead of Pecorino or Grana Padano cheese i used grated Kefalotyri (Greek Salty and spicy cheese).
    Other than that, it turned out amazing. So much so, that my family ate the portion i was going to take to work with me tomorrow!!
    I love your recipes, most are simple and very very doable. It just took me an hour and a half to shop, cook and eat.
    Thank you Adam.

    I am fortunate enough to have a family mountain house near a large forest, and we pick great amounts of wild mushrooms, primarily Porcini. And once you get used to porcinis, it's really hard to go back to commercial ones like cremini, portobello etc. You can buy dried porcini, but it is expensive. The upside is that the are cost effective when dried up, a small amount will make your soups, stews and all sorts of food sooo much better. So to anyone who likes mushrooms, as often as you can, go porcini. Aside from truffles, the best and safest mushroom there is.

      i hate how picky some people can be about a little dirt in their food. I grew up on a farm and it's completely harmless and some studies show that people who eat food fresh from farms can actually have a stronger immune system since their bodies are exposed to small amounts of harmless bacteria in soil and on their produce. Some foods are so heavily sanitized now that I've used store bought cabbage that cant even be fermented into sauerkraut because theres not enough natural, harmless yeast on it to even grow in ideal conditions. I also people throwing away tons of produce just because it looks a little oddly shaped or has a little dirt or discoloration on it.

    Hey, Adam, I know this is an older video, but that "wild onion" in your yard is probably Allium Vineale, or Crow Garlic (Or Onion Grass.) It's a considered a Noxious weed by farmers, but is perfectly edible, unlike Allium Canadense, which has brown bulbs and can cause Gastrointestinal issues in children and reduces Iodine intake. (It's also killed horses, unlike Allium Vineale)

    To make the perfect stock for a mushroom risotto: dissolve a vegetable (or chicken) bouillon cube in very hot water, add a few dried porcini mushrooms and a splash of soy sauce. Let it cool down to room temperature. It only takes about 20 minutes for porcini to rehydrate and you can use them in the risotto afterwards.

    Beautiful! A recipe that closely mirrors one of my own, though I haven't bothered to cook the mushrooms separately. I should give it a go.
    For the instapotgang out there, please be aware that this recipe converts so bloody well to pressure cookers. I personally like to sauté some onions and leeks first, before tossing in the mushrooms. Then, after you handle the rice and deglaze step, you can toss in all the stock (1 to 2 ratio of rice to your stock), and let it pressure cook on high for about six minutes. Once that's done, just add your butter and parmesan, and then I also like to go with a dash of balsamic vinegar which really helps a dish as hearty as this. Long live the empire!

    I unintentionally came into possession of mushrooms and decided to make this even though I’m not big on mushrooms (mostly a texture thing so the way this recipe cooks down the mushrooms I knew I would enjoy it). I didn’t use as many mushrooms as the recipe calls for because I just used what I had plus a healthy amount of Trader Joe’s umami seasoning. But I put a few Parmesan and pecorino rinds in the stock, and goodness gracious the result was amazing. Kinda takes away the spotlight from what is supposed to be a mushroom centered dish, but it was a great way to not only use old veggies in the stock but also the Parmesan rinds that I’ve been waiting to use. Highly recommend!

    I’m a college student with not much time or energy, so I made this with a pre-made vegetable broth from the store the other day.
    It still turned out really good! I guarantee making the broth at home would make it even better, but for those who don’t want to do that, don’t let it hold you back.
    I do wonder, though. If one were to half the recipe, should they try to approximately half the area of their pan? I’d usually use a 10-inch frying pan, because that’s what I have, but I was afraid that the broth would boil away before actually cooking the rice, so I used a 7.5 inch pot, which has just 4 sq inches over half the area of the 10-inch pan. The finished product turned out great, but did i even have to worry about this?
