Instructions
COOK THE RISOTTO Warm the chicken stock in a large enough saucepan over medium low heat. Keep at a very warm/hot temperature below boiling. Heat a large, deep skillet or pan over medium heat and then add olive oil. Add onion and reduce heat to medium low. Sauté until onion is translucent without browning the onion. Add the first 1 Tbs butter until melted and increase heat to medium Add rice to skillet and coat the grains of rice with the butter. Saute for a minute or so Add the wine and cook until pan is starting to dry out and wine is absorbed. Stir often with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon so rice doesn't stick to the pan. Once wine is absorbed, start adding the hot stock from the saucepan to the rice one ladle at a time (about ½ cup). Stir often. Continue adding stock as it gets absorbed by the rice a ladle at a time. Continue stirring throughout this process. After about ⅔ of the stock has been added and absorbed, taste the rice - you want the texture to be firm but done - not mushy. You may not need all of the stock. If you need more stock and run out, you can use hot water to add to the rice. Once the rice is done, remove from heat and stir in remaining butter, salt and pepper and parmesan. Cover with a lid and set aside as you make the mushrooms. MUSHROOM RAGÙ Heat nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot add olive oil. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Then add mushrooms, parsley, and butter and stir to combine. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add white wine and stir. Cook until white wine is almost completely reduced and soaked into mushrooms (approximately 3-5 minutes). Cover and reduce heat to low, add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes. While mushrooms cook prep the phyllo cups. Once done, remove from heat and set aside. PREP THE PHYLLO CUPS Preheat an oven or toaster oven to 350° Assemble Phyllo cups on a baking tray and bake until crisp (if baked from frozen - 3-5 minutes; or 1-2 minutes just to warm if pre-baked) ASSEMBLE THE PHYLLO CUPS Spoon a small amount of risotto into each phyllo cup - about 1 tbsp Top with the warm mushroom mix and garnish with thyme leaves and parsley Shave extra Parmesan on top of the cups and serve.View original recipe
