Before you get started, know that the key to achieving a perfect risotto is patience and constant attention. So, prepare your utensils and let’s get started.
Ingredients
- 300g Arborio rice: This is the most commonly used type of rice for risotto. It has a high starch content that gives risotto its creamy texture.
- 500g fresh mushrooms: You can use any type of mushrooms you like.
- 1 white onion: It will add flavor to your risotto.
- 1 liter vegetable broth: This is the liquid used to cook the rice. It should be hot when you add it to the risotto.
- 100g grated parmesan: For a perfect finishing touch!
- Olive oil, salt, and pepper: For seasoning.
Preparation
- Start by preparing your mushrooms. Clean them and slice them. Set aside.
- Next, heat a little olive oil in a large pot. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent.
- Then add the mushrooms and cook them until they are golden.
- Add the rice and stir well so that it is well coated with the oil and the onions.
- Start adding the hot vegetable broth, one ladle at a time. Stir constantly and only add the next ladle when the previous one has been absorbed by the rice. Continue this process until the rice is cooked.
- Once the rice is cooked, add the grated parmesan, stir well, and season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Your mushroom risotto is now ready to be served.
