10-minute garlic mushroom risotto

If you're looking for a quick and delicious meal, this 10-minute garlic mushroom risotto is the perfect choice. With simple ingredients and a straightforward process, you'll have a creamy, flavorful dish ready to enjoy in no time.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
2 cups white rice
400g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g

Instructions:

1. Heat the Oil and Butter:
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
2. Cook the Mushrooms:
Add the 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the mushrooms for about 3-4 minutes or until they are soft and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the Cooked Rice:
Stir in the 2 cups of cooked white rice. Mix well to combine with the mushrooms. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through.
4. Incorporate the Cheese:
Reduce the heat to low and add the ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the risotto is creamy.
5. Season and Serve:
Taste the risotto and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.

- For a more intense mushroom flavor, consider adding a variety of mushrooms like cremini or shiitake.

- Stir the risotto constantly to help release the starches in the rice, which gives it that creamy texture.

- If you have it on hand, replace some of the water used to cook the rice with chicken or vegetable broth for extra flavor.

- Add a splash of white wine while sautéing the mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.

This 10-minute garlic mushroom risotto is not only quick to make but also rich in flavor and comforting. Perfect for a last-minute dinner or a simple, satisfying meal any night of the week. Follow the tips to enhance the dish, and enjoy the creamy goodness!
