Creamy Mushroom Risotto Recipe

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a comforting and delicious recipe for creamy mushroom risotto. This dish holds a special place in my heart as it never fails to lift my spirits on a rainy day or when I need some cozy comfort food. I hope you enjoy making and savoring it as much as I do!

For this creamy mushroom risotto, you will need the following ingredients:
– Arborio rice (300g)
– Mushrooms, sliced (200g)
– Onion, finely chopped (1 medium)
– Garlic, minced (2 cloves)
– White wine (120ml)
– Vegetable broth (1 liter)
– Parmesan cheese, grated (50g)
– Butter (50g)
– Olive oil (2 tbsp)
– Salt and pepper to taste

In terms of kitchen tools, you will need:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• ladle
• grater

To begin, heat the vegetable broth in a saucepan and keep it warm on low heat. In another large saucepan, heat the olive oil and melt half of the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they are soft and translucent.

Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the saucepan and cook until they are golden brown and have released their juices. Stir in the Arborio rice, ensuring each grain is coated in the buttery mixture. Pour in the white wine and cook until it has been absorbed by the rice.

Now, it’s time to start adding the warm vegetable broth to the rice mixture, one ladleful at a time. Stir frequently and allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente. This should take about 18-20 minutes.

Once the risotto reaches the perfect creamy consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the remaining butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

The total weight of the cooked creamy mushroom risotto is approximately 1200g, and this recipe serves 4 people. Each serving weighs around 300g, containing approximately 350 calories.

A unique tip for enhancing the flavor of this dish is to add a splash of truffle oil just before serving. The earthy aroma and depth of flavor it brings will take your creamy mushroom risotto to the next level!
