**Chicken Liver Mushroom Risotto**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup Arborio rice
– 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 1/2 cup dry white wine
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 8 oz chicken livers, cleaned and chopped
– 8 oz mixed mushrooms, such as cremini and shiitake, sliced
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by heating the chicken or vegetable broth in a saucepan and keeping it warm over low heat.
2. In a separate large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the Arborio rice and toast it for about 2 minutes, ensuring each grain is coated in the oil and aromatics.
5. Pour in the white wine and cook until it has been absorbed by the rice, stirring continuously.
6. Ladle in a cup of warm broth into the rice mixture and stir until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Continue adding the broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding the next.
7. While the risotto is cooking, in a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken livers and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the livers from the skillet and set them aside.
8. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and any liquid released has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
9. Once the rice is al dente and creamy, stir in the cooked chicken livers, sautéed mushrooms, grated Parmesan, and additional butter to enhance the richness. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
10. Remove the risotto from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. The risotto should be creamy with a slight bite to the rice.
11. Serve the Chicken Liver Mushroom Risotto hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for an added burst of color and freshness.
