    Source of Recipe


    Unkown
    Exchanges
    Makes: 8 Servings (about 1/2 cup each)

    - 1/4 to 1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
    - Olive oil cooking spray
    - 1 small onion, chopped
    - 3 cloves garlic, minced
    - 1 small tomato, seeded, chopped
    - 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
    - 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
    - 1-1/2 cups arborio rice
    - 1-1/2 quarts reduced-sodium vegetable, or chicken, broth
    - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    - Salt and pepper, to taste
    - 2 tablespoons pine nuts or slivered almonds, toasted
    - 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage or parsley

    Place mushrooms in bowl; pour hot water over to cover. Let stand until mushrooms are soft, about 15 minutes; drain, reserving liquid. Slice mushrooms,
    discarding any tough parts.

    Spray large saucepan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Saute mushrooms, onion, and garlic until tender about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato, sage, and thyme; cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in rice. Cook, over medium heat until rice begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

    Heat broth and reserved porcini liquid to boiling in medium saucepan; reduce heat to medium-low to keep broth hot. Add broth to rice mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until broth is absorbed before adding another 1/2 cup. Continue process until rice is al dente and mixture is creamy, 20 to 25 minutes.

    Stir in cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve risotto in bowls; sprinkle with pine nuts and sage.
