How to Cook Like an Italian: Part 12 🇮🇹 Master the art of rich, restaurant-quality mushroom risotto at home with Gabe! Gabe breaks down the classic Italian technique for building deep, earthy flavors, cooking the rice to tender perfection. Mushrooms are the star of this dish – both dried porcini and a mix of whatever you can find at your farmer’s market. Even the trimmings are used, along with the leek greens, to make a light, earthy and slightly sweet vegetable broth. He finishes the dish with the Italian technique of mantecatura, which means vigorously adding fat and cheese — in this case, butter and Parmigiano — off the heat to create a creamy sauce. Gabe uses the leftover risotto to make Arancini ai Funghi e Taleggio. Arancini are one of the most satisfying ways to give leftover risotto a second life, and this version pairs the deep, savory richness of mushroom risotto with a hidden pocket of melty Taleggio.
