Mushroom Risotto with Coconut Milk

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and delicious recipe that combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms with the creamy richness of coconut milk. This fusion flavor dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner party. Let’s dive into how to make this mouthwatering Mushroom Risotto with Coconut Milk.

Ingredients:

• Arborio rice (300g)
• Button mushrooms (200g)
• Coconut milk (400ml)
• Vegetable broth (1 liter)
• Shallots (2, finely chopped)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Fresh thyme (1 tablespoon)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• Saucepan
• Wooden spoon
• Chef’s knife
• Cutting board

To start, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, cooking until softened. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for a few minutes until lightly toasted.

Next, pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, a ladleful at a time, stirring continuously until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. This process should take about 20-25 minutes until the rice is creamy and cooked through.

In another pan, sauté the button mushrooms with a bit of olive oil until they are golden brown and tender. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.

Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the sautéed mushrooms and mix well. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve the Mushroom Risotto with Coconut Milk hot, garnished with some fresh thyme leaves for an extra burst of flavor.

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

One clever tip for this dish is to add a splash of white wine to the risotto before adding the coconut milk for a delightful flavor boost.
