Recipe: Mushroom Risotto

This mushroom risotto recipe is a favorite of my partner & I. It is simple, delicious, pretty affordable, and always makes me feel aesthetically on brand during a dark academia phase. Pairs really nicely with roast asparagus.

Ingredients:

8oz mushroom of choice (we use portobello)

1 medium yellow onion

4 cloves of garlic

celery greens ( about 1 - 2 cups)

1 tbsp olive oil

fresh or dried rosemary

fresh or dried thyme

black pepper

salt

garlic powder

1 1/2 cups white rice (rinsed)

3 cups vegetable broth (or water)

dash worcestershire (or vegetarian alternative like Braggs)

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Recipe:

Cut up your vegetables. Cut the mushrooms in half, and then slice in the opposite direction. Break off, or have saved, about one bunch of celery's greens and chop it. Dice the onion finely, and mince the garlic.

In a large pan that is over med-low heat, add the olive oil and onion. When it becomes fragrant (less than a minute) add the garlic and celery greens. Cook until onion is translucent.

Next add your spices, all of them, and stir until you can smell the pepper and rosemary (about 1 - 2 minutes).

Add your mushrooms and the rice. Stir until rice is becoming translucent and the mushrooms have lost and started to regain their water.

Add the vegetable broth and a dash of worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, and turn down to low. Cook until all the liquid has been absorbed, and add more if necessary.

Once your rice is cooked, stir in the parmesan cheese and turn off the heat.
