Mushroom & Garlic Risotto
A 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.
