1. Mushroom Risotto

A classic. If you’re vegetarian, chances are that you’ve played it safe with this option more than once before. Whilst pretty ‘normal’, this dish doesn’t have to be bland and boring.

Preparation:      5 Minutes
Cooking Time: 25 Minutes
Serves:                              4

Ingredients:

  • 50 – 75g dried mushrooms
  • 250 g chestnut mushrooms
  • 300g risotto rice
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 finely chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 glass white wine
  • 25g butter
  • Handful of chopped parsley leaves
  • 50g grated parmesan

Method:

  1. Pour boiling water over the dried mushrooms, before allowing them to soak for 20 minutes. Then drain mushrooms until liquid has gone from the bowl. Keep the liquid!
  2. Add the stock cube to liquid to make mushroom stock.
  3. In a frying pan or saucepan, add the onion and the garlic to heated olive oil.
  4. Then stir in all of the mushrooms, including chestnut mushrooms. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. Add the risotto rice to the pan and cook for 1 minute, before pouring over the wine. Allow to bubble.
  6. On medium heat, add a third of the mushroom stock. Simmer and stir rice until all liquid has been absorbed.
  7. Add another third of the stock and as the dish becomes creamy, keep stirring. Add the final third of the stock at this point.
  8. Stir until the rice is cooked.
  9. Add butter, parmesan and parsley leaves.
  10. Cover, leave for a few minutes and then serve!
