Delicious Mushroom Risotto

Mushroom Risotto is one of my favorite Italian recipes. With its creamy texture and unique flavor provided by the mushrooms and vegetable broth, it is a dish that appeals to both adults and children and always causes a sensation at family gatherings. In my experience, it takes dedication, care and patience to get the rice just right, but the end result is definitely worth it!

Directions

50 min.
1. Step

Chop the mushrooms (the Portobello variety has a lot of flavor and looks great in this risotto), onion and garlic finely. Consider that a sufficiently small size facilitates a uniform cooking.

2. Step

In a large frying pan, heat a splash of oil and fry the onion and garlic over medium heat until golden brown. From my experience, this step is crucial for the ingredients to release all their flavor.

3. Step

Add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

4. Step

Add the rice and stir well to mix with the ingredients and soak up the flavors. Let it brown a little, this will enhance its final texture.

5. Step

Add the white wine and increase the heat a little, stir until the alcohol evaporates.

6. Step

Lower the heat again to medium, and start adding the hot vegetable stock little by little, stirring constantly. This is the secret of a good risotto: add the hot stock gradually and stir constantly so that the rice absorbs it gradually.

7. Step

When the rice is ready (it will take about 20-25 minutes), remove the pan from the heat, add the butter and grated cheese, and stir well to integrate all the flavors and obtain the creamy texture of the risotto.

8. Step

Let it rest for a few minutes before serving, this last step improves the texture of the risotto. In addition, I usually decorate each dish with a few slices of Parmesan and some fresh parsley, it gives it a wonderful appetizing look!
