Wild Mushroom Risotto with Gremolata and Morgenster White Truffle Enhanced Olive Oil

Serves 8.
250g risotto rice
1 cup dried porcini
500 ml white wine
2 L chicken stock
2 onions finely diced
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
100g butter
1 cups Parmesan grated
200g button mushrooms cut into quarters
50g garlic finely chopped
Zeste of 2 lemons
50 ml Morgenster White Truffle Enhanced Olive Oil

Put the dried mushrooms in the stock with the wine and let sit in a warm place for approximately 1 hour. Drain the liquid and keep to one side.

Roughly chop the porcini. Melt the butter in a separate pot and sweat the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the button mushrooms and sauté for 3min until the mushrooms soften. Add the soaked porcini and then the rice and fry for 5 minutes. Add the mushroom stock, just a couple of ladles at a time to cover the rice.

Stir every couple of minutes. Keep adding the stock and stirring until the rice is cooked. (Approximately 15 – 20 minutes) Remove from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan and truffle oil.

For the gremolata mix the chopped parsley, garlic and lemon zest. Serve the risotto steaming hot in large bowls,liberally sprinkled with the gremolata and a further drizzle of truffle oil.
