🍄🟫🧀 RECIPE BELOW – this rich and creamy Mushroom Risotto is made in one pot and absolutely delicious!
Risotto can seem intimidating to make but it’s actually super simple and requires very few ingredients.
Part 6/10 of my Cold Weather Comfort Food Series
Ingredients
– 5-6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
– 2 cups cremini or baby bella mushrooms, roughly chopped (about ½ lb; you can use white, porcini or chanterelle mushrooms too!)
– 1 tbsp unsalted butter
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 large shallot, minced
– ½ tsp each salt and freshly cracked black pepper, or more to taste
– 1 ½ cups dry arborio rice
– ½ cup brandy (or dry white wine), optional
– ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for serving
– Fresh parsley, for serving
Instructions
– Add the stock to a medium saucepan and bring to a low simmer – keeping the stock warm speeds up the process rather than adding it to the rice cold
– Add the mushrooms to a dry pot or large sauté pan over low heat
– Leave them over low heat for 3-4 mins until they’ve released their liquid; they will stick to the pan at first, but don’t worry – mushrooms release a lot of liquid so they won’t stick for long
– Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside
– Melt the butter and add the olive oil then sauté the shallot for 2 mins over low heat, seasoning with salt and pepper
– Add the arborio rice and toast for 2-3 mins
– Add the brandy and scrape to deglaze the pan, then cook until reduced by half (just skip this step if you don’t want to use alcohol)
– Return the mushrooms to the pan then begin gradually adding stock, 2-3 ladles at a time
– Stirring often, cook over low heat until each addition of stock has mostly absorbed – when the rice is pushed to the side, and the liquid doesn’t pool right away, you can add your next addition of stock
– Continue stirring and adding stock as needed until the rice is al dente (I usually use just over 5 cups)
– Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese, then season with additional salt and pepper to taste
– Serve topped with more Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley
