Mixed Mushroom Risotto

Mushrooms bring hearty texture and flavor to this easy, soon-to-be favorite meatless meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 2-2 ½ cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 Tbs butter
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbs sherry vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chives

Intructions

  1. Heat chopped onion with a few tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Sauté for 4 minutes or until softened. Then stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, just until fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  3. Mix in 1 cup of Arborio rice and a bit more oil if needed. Slowly pour in chicken or vegetable broth in ½ cup increments. Wait until all the liquid is absorbed before adding more broth. Make sure to check the doneness of rice and add more liquid as needed.
  4. Once the rice is tender, remove from dutch oven from the stove. Stir in butter, grated parmesan cheese, sherry vinegar, salt and pepper. Serve with chopped chives and additional cheese.
