Mushrooms, Gluten-free, Creamy (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 small onion, diced finely.
02 -
2 garlic cloves, minced.
03 -
8 ounces (225g) of assorted mushrooms, such as button, shiitake, and cremini, sliced up.
04 -
1 cup of gluten-free Arborio rice.
05 -
4 cups of warmed chicken or vegetable broth.
06 -
1/2 cup white wine that’s gluten-free.
07 -
2 tablespoons of olive oil.
08 -
2 tablespoons of butter.
09 -
A quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
10 -
Salt and pepper to your liking.
11 -
Chopped parsley, optional for garnish.
# Instructions:
01 -
Keep the broth warm by simmering it gently in a pot on low heat.
02 -
Heat up olive oil in a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onion and cook it for about 3–4 minutes until it’s soft and clear. Then, add garlic and cook for another minute to bring out the fragrance.
03 -
Put the mushroom slices into the skillet. Stir them around and let them cook for 5 minutes until they release moisture and start browning.
04 -
Drop the Arborio rice into the skillet. Mix it with the veggies and coat every grain in oil, cooking for about a minute or two.
05 -
Add the gluten-free white wine to the skillet. Stir it consistently until most of the liquid disappears—this takes around 2–3 minutes.
06 -
Pour 1 cup of warm broth into the skillet. Keep stirring until that liquid’s absorbed, then repeat the process cup by cup. Don’t rush—take 20–25 minutes to let the rice turn creamy and fully cooked.
07 -
Take the skillet off the heat when the rice is ready. Stir in butter and Parmesan until everything’s velvety smooth and combined.
08 -
Sprinkle salt and pepper to your liking. Dish out your risotto right away, and top with fresh parsley if you like.
