Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup cooked and shredded jokbal (Korean-style braised pig's feet)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Special equipment needed:
- Large saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Ladle
- Grater
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat until it simmers.
2. In another large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
3. Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and stir to coat with the butter and onion mixture. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes until it turns slightly golden.
4. Pour the white wine into the saucepan and stir until the liquid is absorbed.
5. Add a ladleful of the simmering broth to the rice and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat this process, adding one ladleful of broth at a time, and stirring constantly until the rice is cooked al dente, which should take about 20 minutes.
6. While the risotto is cooking, sauté the sliced mushrooms in a separate pan until they are tender and slightly browned.
7. Once the risotto is cooked, add the cooked and shredded jokbal and sautéed mushrooms to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
8. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the saucepan and stir until it is melted and incorporated into the risotto.
9. Season the risotto with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve the Jokbal and Mushroom Risotto hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh herbs if desired.
