Carnaroli Risotto with Porcini Mushrooms

This porcini risotto is made with Carnaroli rice, valued in Italian cooking for its ability to absorb flavor while maintaining a creamy, al dente texture. Onion, leek, garlic, and tomato form a savory base, while porcini mushrooms add earthy depth and umami. Olive oil and carefully balanced seasoning bring the elements together into a classic, well-structured risotto.

When cooked, the risotto develops a rich, creamy consistency with distinct grains and a warm mushroom aroma. The porcini flavor is present but restrained, complementing the natural sweetness of the rice and vegetables rather than dominating the dish. It works well as a first course or as a base for additions like Parmesan, butter, or fresh herbs.
