Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Entree

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 - 4 cups vegetable broth ((or store-bought))
2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil ((if avoiding oil, sub water))
3/4 cup thinly sliced shallot
1/4 tsp each sea salt and black pepper
2 cups sliced Shiitake mushrooms, hardy / woody stalked removed ((or other similar mushroom))
1 Tbsp coconut aminos ((or tamari // soy sauce))
1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme ((or sub dried))
1 cup arborio rice ((works best here - we recommend not subbing other grains))
1/4 cup dry white wine ((or omit))
1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese ((plus more for serving // or sub nutritional yeast))
Fresh chopped parsley
Vegan Parmesan Cheese

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat vegetable broth over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce heat to low to keep warm.
  • In the meantime, heat a large pan* over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and shallot and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes - stirring frequently. Then add mushrooms and coconut aminos and continue sautéing until the mushrooms are golden brown and caramelized. Optional: remove some of the shiitake mushrooms from the pan and reserve for serving - not necessary, but it makes a nice garnish.
  • Add the thyme and arborio rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Then add dry white wine and stir gently. Cook for 2 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  • Using a ladle, add warmed vegetable stock 1/2 cup (120 ml) at a time, stirring almost constantly, giving the risotto little breaks to come back to a simmer. The heat should be medium, and there should always be a slight simmer (adjust heat as needed). You want the mixture to be cooking consistently but not boiling or it can get gummy and cook too quickly.
  • Continue to add vegetable stock 1 ladle at a time, stirring to incorporate, until the rice is 'al dente' - cooked through but still has a slight bite. This whole process should take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Once the rice is cooked through and al dente, remove from heat and add vegan parmesan cheese. Stir to coat (see photo). Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding sea salt and pepper to taste or more vegan parmesan to enhance the cheesiness. If dry at this point, add a little more warmed broth.
  • To serve, divide between serving bowls and top with reserved mushrooms, additional vegan parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley (all optional).
  • Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop with additional (warmed) vegetable broth until hot.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2-ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups finely chopped onions
10 ounces white mushrooms, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice or short-grain white rice
2/3 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, optional

Steps:

  • Bring the broth to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan. Add the porcini mushrooms. Set aside until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Keep the broth warm over very low heat.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the white mushrooms and garlic. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the porcini mushrooms to a cutting board. Finely chop the mushrooms and add to the saucepan. Saute until the mushrooms are tender and the juices evaporate, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and let it toast for a few minutes. Add the wine; cook until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of hot broth; simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, adding more broth by cupfuls and stirring often, about 28 minutes (the rice will absorb 6 to 8 cups of broth). Stir in the peas. Mix in the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

SHIITAKE MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH FRESH PEAS AND MINT



SHIITAKE MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH FRESH PEAS AND MINT image

Categories     Rice     Side     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

15 dried shiitake mushroom caps
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup short grain Japanese or Arborio rice
4 to 5 cups water or stock, preferably reserved from rehydrating the mushrooms
4 to 8 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 1/2 cups peas, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup grated parmesan, plus extra for garnishing
15-20 mint leaves, sliced thin
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Prep step: If using dehydrated mushrooms, 20 minutes before you're ready to start cooking the risotto, place the mushroom caps in five cups of water or stock and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let steep. Take 15. Remove the rehydrated mushrooms from the liquid and let cool. Place the liquid back on low heat and keep warm. Heat a saute pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and saute the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice, coating the grains with the oil and cook until the rice turns opaque, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add about a cup and a half of the heated liquid to the rice, stirring to de-glaze the pan. Add in a half teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of fresh cracked peppers. Reduce the heat to medium low as the risotto should cook at a low boil until the liquid has evaporated down to the level of the top of the rice. Meanwhile, slice the mushroom caps into thin slices. Add the liquid one cup at a time, allowing the liquid to evaporate/absorb between additions. With the third addition, add the peas and sliced mushrooms. After the liquid has evaporated, taste the risotto to see that it is al dente and if necessary, add additional liquid. After the liquid has evaporated, remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup of the grated parmesan and 1/2 of the sliced mint. Serve immediately in a shallow dish, garnish with reserved mint and extra grated parmesan. Voila!

MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH DRIED PORCINI AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS



Mushroom Risotto With Dried Porcini and Shiitake Mushrooms image

The risotto is made using the traditional slow-stirring method, and finished with freshly ground black pepper and Parmesan cheese. Shiitake mushrooms offer a wonderful woodsy taste and are a great compliment to the earthy dried porcini mushrooms. This risotto would be wonderful with a grilled steak and a green salad.

Categories     Rice

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter (divided usage)
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups beef broth
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare porcini mushrooms: Place dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl with 1 cup boiling water. Weight down the mushrooms with something so they stay submerged for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, squeeze mushrooms (saving all liquid) and chop porcini mushrooms coarsely.
  • Prepare shiitake mushrooms: Heat 1 T. of the butter in a saute pan. Saute sliced mushroom tops about 5 minutes until soft.
  • Set mushrooms aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat beef broth in a saucepan just to simmering point. Add to this the retained mushroom liquid so that you have about 4 cups simmering broth.
  • In a separate pan, heat olive oil and the remaining 2 T. butter. Saute onions for about 8 minutes until tender and translucent (but not brown).
  • Add rice to onion mixture; stir and cook about 4 minutes until rice is well coated and has turned opaque white.
  • Add wine to onion/rice mixture; stir and allow to evaporate.
  • Add chopped porcini mushrooms (don't add shiitake yet), along with 1 cup simmering broth. Stir and cook until this liquid has evaporated. Then add another 1 cup broth; stir and simmer. Repeat until rice is tender, which will take about 18-20 minutes. You may have some liquid remaining.
  • When the risotto is done cooking, add shiitake mushrooms, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Top with chopped parsley. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shiitake mushrooms, peas, and mint will give your risotto the best flavor.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking it helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Add the broth or water to the rice a little at a time, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente: The rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. This will take about 18-20 minutes.
  • Stir in the peas and mint at the end: This will help to preserve their flavor and color.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best enjoyed fresh out of the pot.

Conclusion:

Shiitake mushroom risotto with fresh peas and mint is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The earthy flavor of the shiitake mushrooms pairs perfectly with the sweet peas and refreshing mint. This risotto is sure to impress your guests.
