The earthy taste of mushrooms combined with the aromatic scent of fresh sage makes this risotto a gourmet meal that's surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup mushrooms
120g
1 cup white rice
230g
3 cups chicken gravy
600g
1/2 cup white wine
120g
1/3 cup sage
72g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Finely chop the sage.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Cook the Mushrooms:
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until they are soft and any released liquid has evaporated.
4. Toast the Rice:
- Add the cup of white rice to the pan and stir well to coat all grains with oil.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges of the rice grains start to look translucent.
5. Deglaze with Wine:
- Pour in the white wine and stir constantly until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
6. Add Warm Chicken Gravy:
- Begin adding the warm chicken gravy one ladle at a time, stirring constantly.
- Wait until each addition is almost fully absorbed before adding the next ladle of gravy.
- Continue this process, which should take about 18-20 minutes, until the rice is creamy and cooked al dente.
7. Incorporate Flavorings:
- Stir in the finely chopped sage and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the pan from heat and fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and integrated into the risotto.
8. Serve:
- Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh sage if desired.

Tips:

- Use a variety of mushrooms to add depth of flavor. Cremini, shiitake, and porcini mushrooms are great choices.

- Keep your chicken broth warm on the stove. Adding cold broth to the risotto will slow down the cooking process.

- Stir the risotto frequently to prevent it from getting too dry or sticking to the bottom of the pan.

- Do not rush the cooking process. Risotto needs to be cooked slowly with gradual additions of broth to achieve its creamy texture.

- Add the parmesan cheese at the end to ensure a rich and smooth finish.

Cooking mixed mushroom and sage risotto is a culinary adventure worth embarking on. The delicate balance of flavors and creamy texture makes it a dish worth savoring. Follow these tips and you'll have a delightful risotto that can stand alone as a meal or serve as an elegant side dish. Enjoy your gourmet creation!
