Things are not going well around us with the novel COVID-19 coronavirus spreading throughout the world. People are self-isolating themselves in quarantine, and rightly so!
I recommend we use this time to reconnect with family and friends (over the phone, of course!), spend more quality time with our loved ones in our homes… and of course cook together!

If you are a risotto-lover, this meal won’t leave you disappointed!

Risotto with mushrooms recipe
Equipment
- casserole dish
- Pan
- Knife
Ingredients
- 320 gr rice Riso Carnaroli
- 400 gr mushrooms
- 50 gr butter
- 60 gr Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 glass white wine
- 1 liter stock
- parsley
- garlic
- 1/2 onion
- olive oil extra virgin
Procedure
- Cut the mushrooms in chunky pieces and gently fry them in olive oil. Add some garlic if you wish;
- Add some salt to the mushrooms and leave them to cook for about 10-15 minutes, at low heat until they lose all their liquid;
- In a casserole dish, melt half of the butter in olive oil, then add the rice. Toast the rice at medium heat for about 4-5 minutes;
- When the rice is well hot, pour the glass of wine in the casserole dish and let it evaporate;
- Add the stock, ladle by ladle. Take your time in doing so;
- When the rice is about half of the cooking time through, add the mushrooms in the casserole dish. Continue to incorporate the remainder of the stock;
- When the rice is cooked (al dente!), take the casserole dish off the heat, add the butter and the Parmesan to start the 'mantecatura'.
- Mix and stir energetically, then put the lid on and leave everything to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving
- ENJOY
