Perfect Mushroom Risotto recipe

[thunderscratch66]

i highly recommend watching this while listening to "diary of a madman" by ozzy. awesome cooking rock.

[francescauk23]

yum

[rnlmrtn]

im pretty sure all boiling liquid is hot.. lol

[youcandance12345]

he didn't say the amounts of the ingredients. so even after watching this, i still wouldn't know how to make it.

[Rajamana18]

R-R-R-RISOTTO

[omartron]

hes really cool

[Saki630]

You can always add more Parm at the table for more bite!

[jimmypagejnr]

Too stodgy. Guy's a twat

[andreamichelle000]

Talking about mushrooms leaves him breathless

[monkeymaniac92]

THATS HELL LOT OF CHEESE MAN

[Lubie225]

god i hate this guy

[SuperKingNova]

Can't wait to make it ..........

[dachicagoan]

It could have used a lot more cheese...

[javisj2000]

A lovely, wild mushroom...RISOTTO



[789123Y]

I desperately in need of help. I love making risotto, but everytime i make it, it ends up watery. When i plate it, it's just a pile of cooked rice with the stock dripping to the bottom of the plate.

[crystalong94]

@789123Y did you wait for the stock to be almost fully absorb when you add the second round of stock?

[789123Y]

@crystalong94 I tought i did, but it's possible that i did not. It would be logical.

[smellyc]

well im hungry now

[romance698]

You can use Valencia Rice, it will render a perfect risotto at a third of the price of the arborio rice.

[SweatyWalrus]

@romance698 You can use Valencia Oranges, you'll get your point across and they don't leave bruises.

[anarkey42]

btw, your supposed to let it rest for a couple of mins before you serve it, can't remember why, but my brother said so and he's a pro at making risotto ;)

[iKhicken]

So much fat from butter and cheese.

[dusted04]

@iKhicken yeah yum !

[shadowscyth]

I thought this was art smith :(

[frostyham]

That's a lot of cocaine

[Glumlock]

I was following him until he put it in a bowl. I hate people who serve risotto in a bowl - do it some justice and put it on a plate!

[paweleve]

mushroom fried rice...

[cliffcox66]

@paweleve No. Fried rice has distinct individual grains. Arborio rice for Risotto gets creamy, a mush almost. As "situationterm" posted, he did it by the book.

[Pistolen08]

looks like he forgot to chop and add the shimejis LOL

[sapzapgr]

This rissoto is an excelent recipe and quite on the book. Im a student at Cullinary institute and they teached us the same recipe as one of the most good risotto recipes .

[jgonnerman85]

So much butter . . . so much cheese . . . I might have a coronary, but I don't care!

[Darrenium]

i like how he removes the japanese mushroom, as if it werent good enough

[PSNzahi]

I had my doubts in the beginning, but it the end result looks delicious!

[docthebluesman]

1. It wasn't THAT much cheese. It was finely grated which means that there is a lot of air. If you don't want as much cheese, don't use as much cheese.

2. If you don't want red wine, use white...or no wine at all. No one is making you use wine.

3. If you don't want your vegatables soft, don't cook them as long.

4. If you want less butter, use less butter.

He made it the way he likes it. Make yours the way you like it. No need for all this bickering. Cook, have fun, and eat!

[pixelsword]

I've been reading some of the comments and some of you guys really need to be quiet; all because you watch some guys make risotto on Hell's Kitchen doesn't mean you're a professional.

[sphinxman90]

@pixelsword LOL good point, besides a restaurant like HK the rice is precooked, not made from scratch which usually takes a little more than an hour to make.

[lilou1467]

lol..first of all, red wine has too much flavour in my opinion.. it would totally go against the fresh mushroom flavour he is trying to achieve.. second of all, the way he is cooking this dish looks soooo sloppy it hurts to even look at this video..

Im not even going to comment on the amounts of butter and cheese that he put in at the end.. you could cure hunger in a third world country with the quantity he used..

On a positive note, the texture of the risotto does look great though..

[Mukmeguil]

That is a perfect Risotto. Might be a bit strong on butter and parmesan but thats definetly not too much. Just a lot.

I have to say it is hard to go wrong with parmesan and butter. Now about fat content. Yes it's fat, not really healty but it's not only fat that is the secret of risotto. If fat was the answer, McDonalds would taste delicious and not crap.

[spootcloot]

anything with that much fat is always going to be delicious, the true test of a chef is to make healthy food delicious

[TheNecktwister11]

Who stole Me lucky Charms

[vandirk86]

Lol, no need for anywhere near that amt of butter and cheese..

[Jesteria78]

some cooks don't use butter, but only olive oil

[alexiseptimus]

@Jesteria78

Rubbish, although you can, sort of, compensate the saturated fat from the parmaggio (considering it's not powerdy like this one), you always need to use SOME butter to make things hold.

Olive oil just won't do it, it's best no to use it at all, other than finishing it maybe, before serving. If it's actual truffle oil, then it's the best idea.

[ihmesekoilua]

I love that the SECOND result searching for "perfect risotto" is this. is the first result an even more perfect one?

[spawnscout]

a bit too much cheese

[J060191]

This guy made it right.

All of you retards saying he's doing it wrong, probably only have had Risotto at the Olive Garden or some shitty chain resturaunt.

Go fuck yourselves fags.

[padsax1]

hes a shit chef

[shishi14panda]

he always sounds out of breath...

[Cenotaff]

The base for a risotto is standard with oil, onions and rice and butter, the rest is down to your own imagination and your own personal tastes, there is no perfect risotto, that's the joy of cooking, you try different things to constantly improve on what you know.

The point I'm trying to make is that we all have our own tastes, 10,000 people may like one version and 3 may like another, are the 3 people wrong? No, they just enjoy it more, there is nothing wrong with that so stop being dicks.

[KuteersKitchen]

Carnaroli is the rice for risotto in italy!!!

CHEF RAMSEY RISSOTO WAY BETTER

[eve1987]

he didnt add that japanese mushroom, anyone noticed? Should've sed so mate

[jointybier]

on vyzerá byť si silno istý tým, že to bude každému chutiť, čo ja viem, mne to mazľavé rizoto veľmi nechutí, nech sa tvári akokoľvek.

[kennedys209]

I love Anthony W thompson he is a great chef I think you lot don't have a clue it looks yummy can't wait to make it!! And I guess you peaple making negative coments are American thought you wouldn't mind slot of cheese seeing most Americans are clinically obease !!!!!

[WILLSthe1st]

Gorden Ramsey is way better

[HyperfastMalmsteen]

alcohol???no wonder he looks like drunk bum

[daagt]

what heat should you be cooking rizzoto

[silvermediastudio]

Way too much butter to start, and way too much butter and cheese at the end. Also, I've never seen a professional chef add the veggies before adding broth and cooking the rice, usually you add them at the end so they are just barely cooked and have a nice bite. I wouldn't eat that guy's risotto. Also, should be served on a plate or very shallow bowl, not a full deep bowl.

[AwantedNinja]

@silvermediastudio apparently you dont know how proffesional chefs cook

[silvermediastudio]

@AwantedNinja Right. Thanks for your insight.

[AwantedNinja]

@silvermediastudio dont mention it

[Mukmeguil]

@silvermediastudio

Well it depends of the kind of vegetable. These being mushroom it woulb be better to add them before since you don't want to the get steamed cooked but rather sweating off and give flavor to the whole dish.

Peas in a risotto need to be slighty steamed during cooking and you don't want them flavoring the whole thing. You could make a tomate risotto either way. Small chunk all over the place or the rice tiself tasting tomato.

[silvermediastudio]

@Mukmeguil You can keep your soggy mushrooms.  Veggies in risotto should be crisp and fresh. Otherwise it's a sloppy mess with no textural depth or variation.

[Mukmeguil]

@silvermediastudio

As I said, I would agree with you for most vegetables. In the case of a mushroom risotto you can't have crisp mushroom. In this recipe the murhsroom would not feel soggy either since they get the consistensy of a paste that pretty much blend in the consistency of the risotto.

True such a risotto would not have any textural depth of variation but the flavor itself would be greatly enhanced. I would use garnish and some grilled meat to get the textural depth.

[Mukmeguil]

@silvermediastudio You also have to take into consideration what result you want to achieve. A risotto using the taste of parmesan itself and mixing in lightly cooked vegetables would also be great no doubt about it. I would probably use it for any vegetables that can not be reduced into some form of paste. Altought i would probably use a pure AND use fresh ones.

[n7nanae]

That's not called Shumaki nor Shiitake!

It's 'SHIMEJI' !

[dstorm2007]

something that sounds like shumaki!

hahahahaha

for real???!! i thought he's suppose to be a chef

[Sophies09]

eww looks like a bowl of maggots

[0jamesG0]

if i make this i am so using fake butter and soy cheese

[boobooburger]

Whoa. Too much cheese, too much butter. We don't want to end up being a heavy breather like the cook.

[thinline72]

WTF?! How much cheese does he want to put in there?!

[Guitar4God1]

not shumaki...shitaki!

[shibachris]

Actually, those are shimeji mushrooms not shiitake

[anurek123]

lolz shumaki :p

[apesaggia]

OMG... °__° that is terrible... learn to cook.. please

[LADOLC3SICILIANA]

Oh god that looks delicious, looks like the one my nonna cooks in Sicily! yumm. I favourite this video =)

[gerryzzz]

Why doesn't he heat the wine before adding it to the rice? Being as the stock has to be very hot.

[adorejunk]

I have never heard of heating the wine, it was room temp though.

[shinim3gami]

alcohol has a lower boiling temp than water, if you heat, most of the alcohol will boil away - defeating the purpose of adding it in the first time

[silvermediastudio]

That's exactly what a reduction is, you evaporate off the alcohol and keep the flavor of the wine or other liquor.

[bettySwollox]

I just made the one from Gordon Ramsay. Wow, delicious. Can't believe it came out perfectly as it did.

[jesussosa]

wow :D

[situationterm]

he made the risotto by the book, most of you don't know what the hell your talking about.

[Nikkels5]

Disgusting.

[XxCaptainAsshatxX]

I shat myself when you added all that cheese. That much usually lasts me a month O_O

[TwinMountain]

@XxCaptainAsshatxX That much cheese and that much better equals 40 milligrams of zocor per day for life.

[PSNzahi]

@TwinMountain Assuming that someone will have a heart attack after eating that, which they won't. One meal of that won't do much but if people constantly have that high fat/high cholesterol diet, then yes, a heart might occur and cholesterol levels and body fat WILL definitely increase.

[TwinMountain]

@PSNzahi I was on 20 mills of Zocor (smallest pill made) for ten years. Then I decided to watch my fat intake in virtually every meal. Now I cut the smallest pill in half and my cholesterol is low enough so that I'll be off ALL drugs in three months. Getting back into weight lifting again too. Not bad for a 60 year old guy, eh?

[defryer1]

@XxCaptainAsshatxX yeah if you dont like so much cheese u should try cream!

[lokilaufeyarson]

That looks disgusting. You could eat a tablespoon of that and have cheese butter overload...it must be all salty...how can he taste the amazing mushrooms he put in there? Bleh.

[ravenbluesky]

just try making it, it tastes wonderful. YOu don't even know. It's not even remotely salty

[LILWNK]

no its not they are ot shitake mush

[cooksforcooks]

For the full recipe go to our website's recipe search page, enter 'perfect risotto' - the second result is the recipe.

[squidlol]

incidentally it's pronounced shi-tar-ki mushrooms not shumaki
