Instructions
 

  • Prepare your dashi.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan with 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil until hot.
  • Add the shallots and shiitake until the butter is browned and the mushrooms take on a light brown color.
  • Add the rice and fry for a minute, stiring to coat each grain of rice.
  • Add the sake and stir until it has evaporated.
  • Add two ladles of dashi and stir constantly until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding dashi 1 ladle at a time, stirring constantly until the rice has reached a texture you’re happy with.
  • When the risotto is done, add the cheese and remaining butter and stir until they are incorporated. Taste for salt and more if necessary. 
  • Plate the risotto and top with the sauteed shiitake.
  • DONE!
