Pork & Mushroom Risotto

I love risottos. Have always loved risottos and they're bad for the hips! Hahahahahha....But who cares??? Life is short.....found this recipe and decided to add pork to it. And for a first timer cooking risottos, it turned out pretty good and not a difficult recipe to manage. So, do give it a shot. :)

Ingredients:-

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 small onions, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup minced celery
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup minced pork (you may substitute the pork)
• 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup rice
• 3 cups vegetable stock (I used chicken stock)
• 2 teaspoon butter
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

 
1.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until onion is tender and garlic is lightly browned. Remove garlic, and stir in the parsley, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook until celery is tender, then add the pork and mushrooms. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until the  mushrooms are soft.

2.Pour the milk and cream into the skillet, and stir in the rice. Heat to a simmer. Stir the stock into the rice one cup at a time, until it is absorbed.

3.When the rice has finished cooking, stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese, and remove from heat. Serve hot.

Ta da!!! Simple and delicious. Only downside is that you need to eat it hot and it will clump together after a while but nevertheless still yummy! Hubby loved it....Yuli loved it...Caitlin's having it for lunch tomorrow.
