Mushroom & Garlic Risotto

Pudding Pie Mushroom & Garlic RisottoA delicious quick Risotto. There are many Risotto recipes, but this is one of our particular favourites.

Serves 6
1 250g packet of plain risotto
200g wild mushrooms, re-hydrated and chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 Bulb of Garlic, cloves peeled and halved
Small bunch of fresh thyme, leaves picked
1 Tbsp of Butter
Small bunch of fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 Lemon
Parmesan cheese for grating


Method

•    Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
•    Start making the plain risotto as indicated on packet.
•    When you get to the end of using the stock you need to start to roast the mushrooms, so in an oven proof dish add a splash of oil add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and butter, add salt & pepper and mix together.
•    Place the pan in the pre-heated oven and roast the mushrooms for about 10 minutes until cooked through and rich in flavour.
•    When you add the butter and Parmesan at the end of the plain risotto recipe, stir in all the parsley.
•    Roughly chop half the roasted mushrooms and garlic and stir into the risotto, and add a good squeeze of lemon juice.
•    Divide between plates and sprinkle over remaining mushrooms and serve with grated Parmesan.

    Hi Ilja,

    My daughter and I learned this recipe when cooking with you and it has now become a firm family favourite. We recommend serving with some warm fresh bread.
