Active cooking time: 30-45 mins. Total cooking time: 30-45 mins. Serves 4
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil (30mL)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
9 oz chestnut mushrooms, chopped (250g)
2 oz yellow oyster mushrooms (50g)
2 oz wild mushrooms (50g)
salt and pepper
1 vegetable stock cube dissolved in 4¼ cup (1L) of water
1½ cup risotto rice (300g)
¾ cup white wine (175ml)
2 tbsp butter (28g)
½ cup parmesan, grated (50g), OR ¼ cup grana padano, grated
(50g) parsley leaves to taste, chopped
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, then fry for about 5 minutes until soft.
Stir in the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms have softened. Tip the rice into the pan and cook for 1 min. Pour over the wine and let it bubble to nothing so the alcohol evaporates.
Pour in a quarter of the vegetable stock. Simmer the rice, stirring often, until it has absorbed all the liquid. Add another quarter of stock and continue to simmer and stir - it should start to become creamy, plump and tender. Keep adding quarters of stock until all the stock is gone. The rice should be nearly cooked by now.
Take the pan off the heat, add the butter and chuck in the cheese and some parsley and stir. Cover and leave for a few minutes so that the rice can take up any excess liquid as it cooks a bit. Give the risotto a final stir, spoon into bowls and arrange some sliced chestnut mushrooms and a little extra parsley.
