Top Tips

Expert Tips That I Recommend

  • For making perfect Risotto, try choosing the right rice. Arborio rice is the classic choice for making Risotto at home.
  • Before adding the stock or any liquid, ensure to sauté the rice for a few minutes to achieve the golden hue.
  • When you add the chicken stock, I recommend reducing it to half a portion and including coconut milk for another half while cooking the rice. This makes the risotto more flavorful, creamier, and rich.
  • Keep stirring to achieve the creamy consistency of Risotto.
  • You can even grate some crumbled gorgonzola or blue cheese along with parmesan for a rich, tangy flavor.
  • I also add the stock slowly, allowing each ladle to get completely absorbed before adding the next.

  • In the Microwave: Transfer the risotto to a microwave dish, add butter, olive oil, or chicken broth, and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Stir at 30-second intervals and serve once the mushroom risotto becomes hot.
  • Stove-Top Method: Transfer your leftover mushroom risotto to a saucepan, and add some butter or chicken broth. Then, stir the risotto slowly and continuously at a low temperature until it is steaming hot.

What To Serve With This Recipe 

As a fan of this mushroom risotto recipe, I love combining it with Garlic Butter Shrimp, or Grilled Salmon. If you prefer something more exotic and flavorful, try Scallop Casserole or Meatballs.
