Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  1. 1

    Prepare The Ingredients

    Place porcini and 1 cup of water in a bowl. Soak 5 minutes. Remove porcinis from water and reserve liquid.

    Quarter shittake mushrooms

    Quarter cremini mushrooms

  2. 2

    Soak The Porcinis and Cook The Risotto

    "Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add rice to hot pot. Stir occasionally until rice is toasted and opaque, 1-2 minutes.Add 1 cup of porcini water to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water._ Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed.

    Add 1/2 cup boiling water and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.

    Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.

    Remove from burner. Add porcinis, half the seasoning blend, butter and parmesan (reserve 2 TB for garnish). Stir to combine, then cover and set aside."

    Cook The Chicken and Make The Sauce
