From Food and Wine Tasting

Chef Casey prepared this wonderful risotto for our Food and Wine Tasting. It took a little time but well worth the effort. Very cheesy rice with great pepper flavor!

Risotto-stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 45 min. Bake: 15 min.
MAKES: 8 servings
All you need:
½ cup Hy-Vee select Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
½ cup water
8 large Portobello mushrooms (4-41/2 inch), stems removed
4 cups chicken broth, Kitchen Basics divided
2 large sweet onions, chopped
1 medium green pepper, diced
1 medium sweet red pepper, dices
1 tablespoon pine nuts (optional)
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups uncooked Village Harvest Arborio rice (Healthmarket)
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon pepper

All you do:
1. Place vinaigrette in a large reseal able plastic bag; add the mushrooms. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Drain and discard marinade. Place mushroom caps in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat broth and keep warm. In a Dutch oven, sauté the onions, peppers, pine nuts and garlic in butter until tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Carefully stir in 1 cup warm broth. Cook and stir until all of the broth is absorbed.
4. Add remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the liquid to absorb between additions. Cook until risotto is creamy and rice is almost tender. (Cooking time is about 20 minutes.)
5. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese, parsley and pepper. Place 3/4 cup risotto in each mushroom cap. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings.
