mushroom risotto

A perfect & creamy dish that the whole family will love.

Preparation Time: 45 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 litre salt-reduced vegetable stock

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 brown onion - finely chopped

• 1 1/2 cups arborio rice

• 1/2 cup dry white wine

• 3 cloves of garlic - finely sliced

Method

Heat the stock and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan over high heat until almost boiling. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, stirring, for 5 mins or until tender. Stir in the rice until well coated. Stir in the wine and cook for 1 min or until wine has evaporated. Add 1 ladleful of stock mixture and gently stir until stock is absorbed. Repeat with the remaining stock mixture until the rice is tender with just a slight bite.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the garlic, stirring, for 3-4 mins or until golden and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate. Increase heat to high. Cook the mushrooms in the butter, in batches, stirring, for 5 mins or until golden and tender. Transfer to another plate. Return one-quarter of the mushrooms to the pan. Add the garlic and parsley. Season and toss to combine. Reserve to garnish the risotto.

Stir the plain mushrooms and Parmesan into the risotto. Set aside, covered, for 2 mins to melt. Divide among plates and top with reserved garlic mushrooms. Season with pepper.
