Instructions

  • Cut the mushrooms into quarters, then peel and chop the garlic.
  • In a pan, melt half of the amount of butter, add one tablespoon of olive oil, then add the mushrooms and garlic, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release all their liquid and brown.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt the remaining butter, add the rest of the olive oil, then the chopped onion. 
  • Fry the onion until translucent.
  • Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Add the rice to the onion.
  • Stir for about 30 seconds, then add the mushrooms and one ladleful of stock at a time, and keep stirring until it's absorbed, then add more until you finish it up and the rice is cooked through and creamy.
  • Add the cooked mushrooms, salt, parmesan and black pepper, and garnish with freshly-chopped parsley.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

  • If you want a vegan version of this mushroom risotto, replace the butter with olive oil only, and omit the parmesan. Easy!
  • You can add some vegan cheese if you like the idea of a cheesy risotto, but the creaminess comes from the slow-cooking of the risotto.
  • Also, you can add any other vegetable or no-meat alternative to the dish, it can be as simple or filling as you like.
