Cooking For King Charles III - Wild Mushroom Risotto
Ойын-сауық
I remember foraging for wild mushrooms with King Charles III and Antonio Carlucci on the 50,000 acre Balmoral estate. We came back and sautéed and froze enough wild mushrooms to last months for the royal table. In this video I am dehydrating wild mushrooms (they keep even longer) using the PARIS RHONE dehydrator and they have agreed to discount the price if you click on the link below and type in the code. I am also giving a dehydrator away on my Instagram page this week too.
Here's the link to the PARIS RHONE dehydrator www.amazon.com/dp/B09TD29T7J?...
Here is the discount code - but it's not available until 12/2/22 and only until 12/8/22 10FD001DM so watch the video of how to use it and then order on Friday.

King Charles loves Italian food and I remember cooking this for him. Here's the recipe;
Wild Mushroom Risotto
Makes 4 portions
2 cups dried mushrooms
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 TBS olive oil
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
salt and pepper to taste
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh chopped fresh herbs
Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl and pour two cups warm water over them rehydrate. Set aside for 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and the keep the liquid.
In a heavy-bottomed pot add the rice and stir to coat the grains with butter. Add 2 full ladles of the chicken broth mixture to the rice. Stir and simmer over low heat until the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the liquid from the mushrooms.
Continue to add more broth one ladle at a time, stirring every few minutes. Each time, cook until the mixture seems a little dry before adding more. Add the wild mushrooms, Continue cooking until the rice is cooked through, but still al dente, nutty in texture, about 20 minutes total.
When done, the risotto should be thick and creamy and not at all dry. Off the heat, stir in the cheese and sprinkle the chives on top before serving.

"I'll make you a porcini risotto!" "Now now you know I don't like that fancy food, I'll be happy with just some mushrooms and rice"
During WWII, my family had a large enough "victory garden" that they had a neighboring farmer plow it with a horse. The USDA published a booklet on how to dry vegetables in the sun. Maybe in Arizona, but the sun did not do it in Michigan! Dad made little wooden frames covered with cheese cloth that fit in Mother's oven rack. With very low heat, that dried things easily. Later, when in my teens, I grew a lot of sweet corn. Mother did the same with it. Put in a regular fruit jar, it kept well into the winter. With no freezers back then, we thought dried corn was miles better than tin can corn!
Thank you thank you thank you. I was wondering when you were going to post another video. I wish you would post one every week. We love you chef.

When I lived in Italy I learned how to make risotto from the kind women of the village I lived in. We would pick mushrooms and go back and make the risotto after a few days. I have moved back to the US after my husband’s death. I have to thank you for bringing back memories of a wonderful time in my life. Guess who is making risotto this weekend? Happy Holidays,Darren!
Darren is back ! It’s nice to see an upload.
Darren, I have watched and liked every episode you have ever done. This is by far my favorite. I am a harvester of wild choice edible fungi. Your dehydration method is spot on!

I can smell the mushrooms through the screen. Wild is definitely the way to go for good mushroom flavor and aroma.
So good to see you back again Darren. I've missed your stories and recipes

Every recipe I’ve ever seen says you have to add BOILING HOT stock to the rice a 1/4 cup at a time. Chef Darren just proved them wrong. The risotto looked delicious!

You are a fabulous cook ! Thank you so very much. Do you think you could share some smoothies if you make them? I know I would really appreciate it very much.
Gorgeous recipe! I love the way almost any fresh vegetable from the garden or foraged like mushrooms can be added to a risotto, and is elevated by it.
Thank you for sharing your memories as well as your recipes. Greetings from Germany 🥰
As always another great video, really enjoy watching your channel on here and listening to all those great stories of yours working within the royal family, what an amazing experience that would have been. I really enjoy hearing about them all I miss England so much and live in Canada now so it’s nice to hear all those stories from home. Take good care Darren
Risotto is one of my all time favorite dishes!!! Recently, I had Bison Risotto. I can't begin to tell you how good that was. It was a Bison tenderloin sliced over a Chanterelle Mushroom Risotto. I have GOT to try to make your risotto, and if it doesn't turn out, oh well, try - eat - try - eat until I get it right! Thank you for this!!!
This was brilliant, Darren. What I love about italian cooking is how simple the recipes are. If you have and highlight the quality of the ingredients, the rest takes care of itself. Antonio Carluccio was a great chef, and that's pretty special you got to spend the day with Prince Charles exploring the estate for wild mushrooms. Something you never forget.

Wonderful! I am glad you did this video on dehydrating mushrooms! I love mushrooms.
If I remember correctly, dried mushrooms packs more flavor than fresh mushrooms. Great source for giving stock a depth of flavor.
Merry Christmas Darren! Thanks for all the great recipes and stories. You make it all look so easy.
What? Eating Royally here in Dallas?!! I'm so going to be a new patron!! Bringing my oldest daughter..... who when she got married, hey bridal shower we had a proper tea party. I even purchased the Queen's Tea from England just for the event! I'm beyond excited!!!!
I think the smell came all the way to my kitchen in Montreal! We're all drooling here! Thank you for sharing these delicious recipes with us
Makes my day when I see you have a new video out, thank you Chef!
One of my favorite, and best rice dishes ever..I think I saw some make a pumpkin-currant risotto, scrumptious,
Darren just saw The Crown latest episodes and Diana mentions you when she’s showing her fridge to Charles. Have to say I reacted like a total fanboy when I heard your name 😂☺️ Have you collaborated in any way with the producers? Cheers

I dehydrate all of the time but haven't tried mushrooms. There's a mushroom farm near me. I have a new food to dehydrate.
I’m not a massive fan of mushrooms but I’d happily eat that….looks fab!
Thank you for another great recipe!
I'm not vegetarian, but I love a mostly meatless diet. This dish has the heartiness of meat from both mushrooms and rice. Yum!

Very likable guy,cooks his food with conjugate touch. With food like this,I'll enjoy excursions

Congratulations Mr. Darren is similar to the Italian recipe, the only difference is the final creaming where we add a spoonful of butter, stirring with the heat off. Let it rest for three minutes and then serve.
Dehydrating is a process that is 1000's of years Darren.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear you say “wood ear”… I thought it was only particular to Asia! Whilst we have quite the variety of mushrooms here, porcini is not one of them and so expensive to buy when available in supermarket. I enjoy your videos and like your recipes. Thank you

A refreshingly simple recipe, but one suspects that the truffle oil, chives and really good Parmigiana Regiana ARE necessary. Risotto is wonderful! 🌟👍

I admire Darren for his professionalism and kindness. But he should have sliced some of the mushrooms to fit more kindly in the drying pan. I love mushroom risotto.

Looks loverly 😊 and yumie xx never tryed the risotto xxx ❤
This has me thinking of the BRAT diet, which isn't culinary by any means but rather a medical diet that can be easily digested. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. I never thought of Risotto as health food, but the combination of rice and chicken stock certainly is a comfort food, much in the same way chicken soup is. I won't wait till I'm needing an easily digestable meal to try this recipe, but I will give it a try if I do. Thanks again Chef!

I have an all stainless steel dehydrator that I use for jerky. I'm fairly certain that dehydration of meats goes back thousands of years to the indians in what is now Mexico.
Mushrooms must be a dime a dozen in texas. You dropping shrooms, like your at one of my partys in the 80's.
Just found you. My son has bushels of mushrooms picked and in the hydrator. Now I am heading to the store to get short grain rice
