Servings: 6
Ingredients:
2 cups water
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice or medium-grain white rice (about 9 1/2 ounces)
3 large shallots, chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
1. Bring 2 cups water to boil in heavy small saucepan. Add mushrooms. Cover; let stand until mushrooms soften, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to work surface; reserve soaking liquid. Chop mushrooms coarsely.
2. Melt butter with oil in pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add rice, shallots, and fennel seeds; stir 1 minute. Add wine and cook until almost evaporated, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Mix in 2 cups broth and salt, then mushrooms and reserved mushroom soaking liquid, leaving any sediment behind in pan. Lock lid in place. Bring to high pressure over high heat. Cook rice 4 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain high pressure. Quick-release pressure.
3. Slowly release lid, standing back and allowing steam to escape. Cook rice over medium-high heat until creamy and tender but still firm to bite, stirring often and adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if thinner consistency is desired, about 2 minutes. Mix in cheese and parsley. Season risotto to taste with pepper.
4. *Dried porcini mushrooms are available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and many supermarkets.
