Mushroom Risotto Recipe
This Mushroom Risotto Recipe has a deep, rich flavor while being entirely meatless. Feel free to incorporate a ridiculous amount of spinach or kale - it cooks down to nothing!
Ingredients
- 6 to 7 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ small onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 12 ounces button mushrooms sliced
- 4 ounces gourmet medley mushrooms or wild mushrooms sliced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup arborio rice
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 package baby kale (5 ounces)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese plus additional for garnish
Instructions
- In medium covered saucepot, heat broth over medium heat. When simmering, turn off heat and keep covered.
- Meanwhile, in large high-sided skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms and thyme; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until mushrooms are deep golden brown, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to medium and add rice; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until rice begins to become translucent at edges of grains, stirring constantly. Add wine, salt and pepper; stir constantly until wine is mostly absorbed.
- Add 1/2 cup hot broth; stir frequently until mostly absorbed. Add additional broth in 1/2 cup increments, stirring after each addition and cooking until broth is mostly absorbed before adding more. Cook 18 minutes, then stir in kale and cheese. Continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes longer or until rice is tender, stirring frequently and adding broth as needed (you may not need all of the broth).
- Divide risotto between warm plates. Garnish with additional cheese and serve immediately.
Notes
Home Chef Tip: A lot of people think that risotto requires *constant* stirring, but you really don't have to do that (although you can, if you want). Restaurant chefs certainly don't stand over the skillet stirring it constantly. Just stay in the kitchen with it (maybe unload the dishwasher while you're at it). Stir it every 2 to 3 minutes and add more hot broth as soon as it starts to get dry again, and you're all good.
