Slow Cooker Mushroom Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the slow cooker if necessary. Fry the onion in the oil in a frying pan with a splash of water for 10 minutes or until it is soft but not coloured. Add the mushroom slices and stir them around until they start to soften and release their juices.
• Meanwhile pour the stock into a saucepan and add the porcini, bring to a simmer and then leave to soak. Tip the onions and mushrooms into the slow cooker and add the rice, stir it in well. Pour over the stock and porcini leaving any bits of sediment in the saucepan (or pour the mixture through a fine sieve).
• Cook on High for 3 hours, stirring halfway. and then check the consistency - the rice should be cooked. If it needs a little more liquid stir in a splash of stock. Stir in the parsley and season. Serve with the parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the barley and thyme and cook, stirring, until the barley is just golden, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker and add the carrots, broth, 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook on high until the liquid is absorbed and the carrots and barley are tender, about 3 hours.
• Discard the thyme and stir in the Parmesan, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Thin out the risotto with warm water for desired consistency as needed. Top with parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet, heat 3 tbsp. oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until just soft but not brown about 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup wine and cook, stirring constantly, for one minutes. Add rice, and stir and cook until it begins to turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Scrape rice and onion mixture into slow cooker. (Set skillet aside and do not wash.) Turn slow cooker to high, and add broth. Cover and cook on high until tender and moist but not soupy, about 1 3/4 - 2 1/2 hours.
• 2. Meanwhile, using the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil and butter together over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid, about 4 minutes. Add remaining 1/4 cup wine, and stir and cook another minute or two to allow some of the wine to evaporate. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before placing mushrooms in a microwave-safe bowl; cover and refrigerate. Just before rice is done, remove mushrooms from refrigerator and microwave, uncovered on high, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Uncover the risotto, and stir in the half-and-half and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, topped with the heated mushrooms and Parmesan cheese.
• 3. Note: If you have a medium to large ROUND slow cooker, cooke the rice for 2 to 21/2 hours, until tender and still moist but not soupy. If you have a large OVAL slow cooker, cook the rice for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until tender and moist but not soupy.

Steps:

• Mix chicken broth, rice, olive oil, wine, garlic, onion flakes, salt, and black pepper in a slow cooker. Cook on High for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Stir in Parmesan cheese; cook uncovered until Parmesan cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

Add rice and stir and cook until it begins to turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in thyme. Scrape rice and onion mixture into slow-cooker. (Set skillet aside and do not wash.) Turn slow-cooker to high and add broth. Cover and cook on high until tender and moist but not soupy, about 1 3/4 hours to 2 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, using the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil and butter together over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid, about 4 minutes. Add remaining 1/4-cup wine and stir and cook another minute or two to allow some of the wine to evaporate. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, before placing the mushrooms in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and refrigerate. Just before rice is done, remove mushrooms from refrigerator and microwave, uncovered on high, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
