Mushroom Risotto

Mushroom Risotto

There won't be MUCH-ROOM in your stomach after this.

Ho-Fucking-ho.

SO oozy and nutty and SPECIAL.

Made this for New Years Eve dinner...it even went down well with my non-vegan boyfriend. 

It's a Veganised version of Jamie Oliver's 'Oozy Mushroom Risotto'

Ingredients

serves 4-6 humans

300g Arborio Risotto Rice

1 cup Nutritional Yeast

500g of mushrooms (I used a mix of portobello, button & chestnut)

4 sprigs fresh Rosemary

1 stick celery

1 onion

1/2 glass dry white wine

1 veggie stock cube

2 garlic cloves

1 pack Vegan Cheese (I used Cheezly's white cheddar)

Soya Butter or any Vegan spread

Balsamic Vinegar

Agave Syrup

Olive Oil

Salt

Pepper

Rice.

1. Put onion and celery in food processor. BLEND.

2. Fry this mixture in a tall sided pan for 5-8 minutes using olive oil

Fry that shit. I also put a portobello mushroom in my blender. 

3. Chop 2 sprigs of Rosemary finely & one clove of garlic. Add to mixture with rice. Stir for 2 minutes.

4. Add wine and stock cube. Stir for another 2 minutes until wine has boiled off. 

5. Add a good glug of boiling water. Stir constantly or the rice will stick to the pan!

Don't let that shit stick.

6. Cook until water has almost gone, then add more boiling water. Continue to do this for approx 20 mins. 

7. Tear up half the mushrooms and add to the rice. Cook for another 10 minutes. Keep adding glugs of boiling water if needed.

Tear it up.

8. Stir a big knob of 'butter' into rice. Turn off heat. Grate all of the cheese finely & mix into risotto. Add salt, pepper, nutritional yeast & balsamic vinegar to taste.

9. Put a lid on your risotto to keep it warm. 

10. Tear the remaining mushrooms into a big frying pan, drizzle with olive oil, agave syrup & add some 'butter'. Add salt & pepper & tear up the remaining rosemary. Fry for 5 mins, then put under the grill for another 8-10mins until cooked.

GRILL TO PERFECTION.

10. Dish up your risotto. Sprinkle with your grilled mushrooms.

SERVE.

How brown and delicious.

NOW TASTE THAT MUSHROOMY RICE.

TASTE IT.
