Method:
- To begin the risotto, use 50g of the butter to fry the mushrooms in a saucepan until light brown in colour. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until soft for a further 30 seconds.
- Stir in the rice and cook until transparent.
- Pour in the wine and stir in well.
- Add stock a little at a time, stirring constantly until all is absorbed and creamy and the rice is cooked. Add more stock if the rice is still slightly undercooked.
- Season with sea salt and freshly milled pepper. Add little olive oil and the remaining 50g butter.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and finish with a drizzle of truffle oil or shavings or fresh truffle on top.ENJOY !
