Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups vegetable stock, or more if needed
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 (8 ounce) packages baby bella mushrooms, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups Arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Pour vegetable stock into a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and keep warm.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in celery and garlic, and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and Arborio rice to the pot. Cook, stirring often, until rice is opaque and smells slightly toasted, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in white wine, and cook until it evaporates, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Begin stirring in reserved warm vegetable stock, 1 cup at a time, allowing each addition of stock to be fully absorbed before adding in the next, stirring continuously. Continue adding broth gradually while stirring constantly, until rice is tender and creamy, about 20 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper.

Make a filling vegan mushroom risotto, full of rich umami flavours. This easy, family-friendly recipe makes a super-satisfying midweek dinner

Provided by Georgina Kiely - Digital food editor, bbcgoodfood.com

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

20g dried porcini mushrooms or dried wild mushrooms
1.2l vegan vegetable stock
4 tbsp Flora Plant Butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 long shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
250g chestnut mushrooms or mixed mushrooms, sliced
250g risotto rice
125ml vegan white wine
½ small bunch parsley or chives, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Put the dried mushrooms and stock in a saucepan over a high heat and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and keep warm while you start the risotto.
  • Heat 2 tbsp Flora Plant Butter and oil in a wide, shallow pan over a medium heat, and fry the shallot for 6-8 mins or until tender. Stir in the garlic for a minute, then add the chestnut mushrooms. Strain the rehydrated mushrooms from the stock with a slotted spoon and add those too. Fry for 8-10 mins or until tender and golden. Stir in the rice and coat in the vegan butter and oil. Add the wine and simmer for 2 mins to reduce.
  • Add the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring regularly until absorbed before adding the next ladle. Keep adding and stirring for 20-25 mins until most of the stock has been absorbed (leave the last bit of stock in the pan as this will hold any grit from the dried mushrooms) and the rice is tender.
  • Remove from the heat, stir the remaining 2 tbsp vegan butter and the herbs into the risotto, then rest, covered, for 5 mins before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the risotto.
  • Don't overcook the mushrooms. They should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • Add the white wine gradually. This will help to prevent the risotto from becoming too acidic.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a creamy texture.
  • If the risotto becomes too thick, add a little more vegetable broth or water.
  • Season the risotto to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish the risotto with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme.
  • Serve the risotto immediately.

Conclusion:

This creamy vegan mushroom risotto is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, this risotto is sure to please everyone at the table.
