JUST A LITTLE PREP
Boil the kettle. Grate half of the hard cheese and set aside for the risotto. Using a peeler, shave the remaining cheese into ribbons and set aside in a bowl with the rinsed green leaves. Dilute the stock with 400ml of boiling water and set aside for step 3. In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche with three-quarters of the chopped parsley. Stir through a drizzle of oil, season to taste, and set aside.
PAN FRY THE PORTOBELLINIS
Place a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, pan fry the sliced mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until soft and golden, shifting as they colour. Season to taste, remove from the pot on completion, and set aside.
RISOTTO TIME
Return the pot to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil or knob of butter. When hot, sweat the diced Onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the rice and mix evenly through the onion for about 30 seconds. Stir in the wine and simmer until evaporated. Add a ladleful of stock and allow it to be absorbed by stirring regularly and gently simmering. Only add the next ladle of stock when the previous one has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked al dente. On completion, remove from the heat and stir through the grated cheese, the mushrooms, and a generous knob of butter (optional). Mix in half of the parsley crème fraîche and season to taste.
DRESS THE SALAD
Just before serving, toss the green leaves and hard cheese with a drizzle of olive oil, the balsamic vinegar to taste, and some seasoning.
PURE MUSHIE INDULGENCE!
Plate up a generous mound of creamy risotto, garnish with the truffle zest, and sprinkle over the remaining chopped parsley. Dollop over the remaining herbed crème fraîche and serve alongside the fresh, Italian-style salad. Buon appetito!
