Indulge in Luxurious Creamy Mushroom Risotto with Truffle Oil

Introducing: Creamy Mushroom Risotto with Truffle Oil

Today, I’m excited to share a comforting and decadent plant-based recipe that is perfect for cozy evenings at home. This creamy mushroom risotto with truffle oil is a rich and flavorful dish that will surely impress your taste buds. The combination of earthy mushrooms, creamy Arborio rice, and aromatic truffle oil creates a luxurious and satisfying meal that is surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 200g Arborio rice
• 250g mixed mushrooms (such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 liter vegetable broth
• 100ml white wine
• 2 tbsp truffle oil
• 50g vegan Parmesan, grated
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• Chef’s knife
• Cutting board
• Large saucepan
• Wooden spoon

To start, heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant. Add the Arborio rice to the pan and toast it for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.

Next, pour in the white wine and allow it to cook off slightly before slowly adding the vegetable broth, a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. This gradual process helps to develop a creamy texture in the risotto.

While the risotto is cooking, sauté the mixed mushrooms in a separate pan until golden brown and tender. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme for added flavor.

Once the Arborio rice is tender and creamy, stir in the sautéed mushrooms, vegan Parmesan, and truffle oil. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the creamy mushroom risotto hot, garnished with extra fresh thyme leaves and a drizzle of truffle oil for a luxurious finish.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, with 4 servings at 300g each. Each serving is approximately 400 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to stir in a handful of baby spinach right at the end of cooking for an extra pop of color and freshness.

I encourage you to give this creamy mushroom risotto with truffle oil a try and make it your own by experimenting with different mushroom varieties or adding in your favorite seasonal vegetables. Enjoy!
