Let’s make a mushroom risoto. First, we’re going to slice some baby bellow mushrooms. Then, we’re going to finely mince some garlic as well as shallots. Now, we’re going to saute our mushrooms until deep golden brown. Then, we’re going to set those aside and add in our shallots. Those are softened. We’re going to add in our garlic. Now, we’re going to toast some arborio rice. Then, we’re going to add in one ladle of chicken stock and continuously stir until it evaporates. We’re going to repeat that process until our rice is nice and plump. Then we’re going to fold in some butter, salt, and pepper. Then lastly, our mushrooms. The recipe will be in the description.

  1. Try this next time you sauté mushrooms; put the mushrooms into a dry pan, cook until nearly done, THEN add your oil/butter. It cooks off the water from the mushrooms faster and gives them a better texture, IMO.
