Ingredients

  • 300g arborio rice
  • 400g mixed mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 150ml dry white wine
  • 1 litre hot vegetable stock
  • 30g Parmesan, finely grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Fresh thyme and parsley to serve

Method

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a wide pan. Sauté onion 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes until golden. Remove half and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add rice and stir to coat. Pour in wine and stir until absorbed.

  4. 4

    Add hot stock one ladle at a time, stirring constantly, until each addition is absorbed — about 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat. Stir in butter and Parmesan. Season well.

  6. 6

    Serve topped with reserved mushrooms, fresh thyme, and parsley.

Tip: Use a vegetable stock with no added salt to keep sodium in check.
