MUSHROOM & SPINACH RISOTTO



Mushroom & Spinach Risotto image

I had never tried mushroom spinach risotto until a trip to Paris a few years ago. Since then, I worked hard to create a recipe that tasted similar, and I think I finally succeeded with this version. It is very rich and indulgent! I often add cubed cooked chicken to make this a more satisfying and protein-packed main dish. —Sandi Ogden, Clinton, Missouri

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use Arborio Rice: Arborio rice is a short-grain rice that is specifically designed for risotto. It has a high starch content, which helps it to create a creamy sauce.
  • Toast the Rice: Toasting the rice before adding the liquid helps to bring out its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add Liquid Gradually: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Instead, add it in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
  • Be Patient: Risotto takes time to cook. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a dish that's undercooked or mushy.
  • Stir Regularly: Stirring the risotto constantly helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final dish. Use fresh, high-quality mushrooms, spinach, and broth for the best results.

Conclusion:

Mushroom spinach risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some patience. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your risotto turns out perfectly every time.
