Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the pork collar: trim any excess fat, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork collar on both sides for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside to rest.
3
Prepare the risotto: finely chop the onion and garlic. In a large pan, melt the butter with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat each grain with the oil and butter mixture.
5
Slowly add the vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding the next ladleful. Continue this process until the rice is creamy, tender, and al dente, about 20 minutes.
6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7
To serve, place the seared pork collar on a plate alongside the mushroom risotto. Garnish with fresh parsley.
