Creamy Fontina Risotto

with Mushrooms

This creamy risotto makes a marvelous side dish or

can be served as a first course.

Makes 3 cups (750ml) (serves 6 as a side dish, 4

as a first course)

2-1/2 teaspoons (12ml) unsalted butter, divided

2-1/2 teaspoons (12ml) extra virgin olive oil,

divided

1/3 cup (80ml) finely chopped onion or shallot

1 cup (Rice Cooker) Arborio rice

6 tablespoons (90ml) dry white vermouth or

other dry white wine (not Chardonnay)

3 cups (750g) low-sodium chicken broth

6 ounces (170g) shiitake mushrooms,

tough stems removed, thinly sliced

1/4 teaspoon (1ml) thyme

3 ounces (85g) shredded Fontina cheese

1/2 teaspoon (2ml) freshly ground pepper

Chopped fresh thyme and Italian parsley

as garnish, optional

Place 1-1/2 teaspoons (7ml) each of the butter and

olive oil in the Rice Cooking Bowl of the Cuisinart

™

Rice Cooker. Cover, turn on, and wait one minute.

Stir in the chopped onion and cover; cook 1 minute.

Add the rice; stir to coat completely. Cover and

cook 2 minutes. Stir in the wine; cover. Cook 2 to 3

minutes until the wine is completely absorbed. Add

the chicken stock; stir.

Cover and cook until Rice Cooker switches to

“Warm”, about 28 to 30 minutes, stirring 2 or 3

times during cooking.

While the risotto is cooking, heat the remaining tea-

spoon of the butter with the remaining teaspoon of

the oil in a 10-inch (25cm) nonstick skillet over

medium high heat. When bubbling, add the mush-

rooms, stir to coat, and cook, stirring now and then

until the mushrooms are golden and slightly crispy.

When Rice Cooker switches to “Warm”, stir in the

shredded Fontina, cooked shiitakes and ground

pepper. Serve risotto hot. May be garnished with

chopped fresh thyme and parsley, if desired.

much less fat than traditional pork andouille. It can

be found in many well-stocked grocery stores.

Smoked turkey kielbasa can be substituted.
