CHEESY WILD MOREL MUSHROOM AND LEEK RISOTTO

Ingredients

    blank

    • 1 pound mixed mushrooms 

    • 2 tablespoons butter 

    • 1 tablespoons olive oil 

    blank

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil 

    • 3 tablespoons butter, divided 

    • 1 leek, chopped (using only the white and light green parts) 

    • 2 garlic cloves, minced 

    • ½ cup dry white wine 

    • 1 ½ cups arborio rice 

    • 5 cups chicken or vegetable broth 

    • ½ cup heavy cream 

    • 1 cup Meister Wild Morel and Leek Jack, shredded 

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Directions

    1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and tender, about 8-10 minutes, letting the mushrooms sit undisturbed between stirring to encourage browning. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate. 

    2. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, and the leek to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and cook until softened, about 5-8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. 

    3. Pour in the white wine and simmer until reduced by at least half. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. 

    4. Pour in 1 cup of broth and cook, stirring often, until mostly absorbed. Continue adding the broth 1 cup of time, allowing it to absorb before adding more. The risotto is done when the rice is creamy and tender with a slight bite. 

    5. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, heavy cream, and cheese until melted and creamy. Fold in ⅔ of the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper to taste.

    6. Top with the remaining mushrooms and serve.
