Recipe's preparation

    Chicken and Mushroom Risotto
  1. Grate Parmesan in the TMX for 10 seconds on speed 9. Set aside.

     

    Put the dried porcini mushrooms in a small bowl with 2 tbsps of boiling water and 2 tbsps sherry and leave to soak. 

     

    Place shallot and garlic into mixing bowl, chop 3 sec/speed 5.

    Add 2 tbsps pale cream sherry, cook 1 min / 100dC / Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" speed 1, MC off.

     

    Add water, stock, chicken, fresh and dried mushrooms and 1tsp dried Thyme. cook for 16-17 minutes on 100dC, Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" , speed 1.

    Place risotto into a serving bowl, stir through parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

     

    Not sure why the simmering basket is shown. You don't need it. I made this variation due to dietary restrictions regarding milk/cream/butter. I think the pearl barley gives an added texture. My son didn't notice that it was there. He's normally not a fan of mushrooms either but he loved them in this recipe. 

    You can use 100g White wine instead of the sherry. Just use about a third for the porcini and add the rest after toasting the rice/barley as for the sherry.

    Thanks to Lol777 for the original inspiration.

Tip

A rule of thumb:  For 100g risotto rice you need 300g water with stock paste.
