Yields1 Serving
Prep Time15 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time45 mins
 1 cup arborio rice
 500 g oyster mushrooms, sliced
 1 small onion, finely chopped
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 4 cups vegetable broth, kept warm
 ½ cup dry white wine (optional)
 ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for vegan version)
 2 tbsp olive oil
 2 tbsp butter (use nutlex for vegan version)
 salt and pepper to taste
 fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the sliced oyster mushrooms and cook until they are soft and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3

Add the Arborio rice to the pot and stir well to coat with the oil and butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges of the rice grains look translucent. Pour in the white wine (if using) and stir continuously until the wine is mostly absorbed by the rice.

4

Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding the next ladle. This process should take about 18-20 minutes.
Continue until the rice is creamy and cooked al dente. You may not need all the broth.

5

Stir in the cooked oyster mushrooms. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese (if using). Stir until well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6

Spoon the risotto into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious oyster mushroom risotto!

Tip: If you have dried Shiitake mushrooms in your pantry, add them to the Oyster mushrooms for a taste sensation!
