Mushroom Risotto Recipe

Risottos are a great way to to make an easy supper. This mushroom risotto recipe uses button mushrooms – and you can add other vegetables that you have in your store. In this case frozen peas are added to add sweetness and colour.

Risotto is a one pot recipe so makes for an easy family supper with minimal washing up. You do need to pay the risotto attention during cooking as it does nee frequent stirring to stop the rice from sticking and to check when you need to add more stock

You can make risotto with almost any vegetable such as this Leek And Cauliflower Risotto

All risottos are made in the same way. the main thing that varies is how the vegetables are cooked and at what stage they are added to the rice. Once you know that you can make a risotto with almost any ingredient. It is a great way to use up leftover cooked food.

Easy, low cost supper recipe, Mushroom Risotto can be cooked in one pot from store cupboard ingredients

Arborio Rice

The recipe uses arborio rice (risotto rice) but if you don’t have any you can use ordinary long grain rice. It is a shorter and more starchy rice and is traditionally used for risottos. It is named after a town in Italy where it was originally grown. It is chewier and creamier than long grain rice . Really it is personal preference which you go for – but arborio rice is the usual choice for risotto

Mushrooms

Mushrooms are and excellent part of a vegetarian or vegan diet being packed with nutrients, vitamins, minerals and fibre. They are available all year round in supermarkets. And you can always try out some of the more specialist mushrooms when they are available in the Autumn. Do beware mushroom foraging though unless you really know which mushrooms are edible!
