Herbed Wild Mushroom Risotto

Ingredients:

• 300g Arborio rice
• 200g mixed wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 litre vegetable broth, kept warm
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp vegan butter (or unsalted butter)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the wild mushrooms and cook for about 5–7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Add the Arborio rice and toast it for 1–2 minutes, stirring continuously until the rice is well-coated.
4. If using white wine, pour it in now and stir until it is mostly absorbed.
5. Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb each addition before adding the next, continuing this process for 18–20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
6. Stir in the vegan butter, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
7. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and serve immediately.
8. Enjoy your herbed wild mushroom risotto with a chilled glass of Domaine Vincent Girardin "Cuvee St. Vincent" Bourgogne Rouge 2022 for a harmonious, terroir-driven pairing.
