Creamy Mushroom Risotto

Healthy Fact of the Day

Mushrooms are an excellent source of antioxidants, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, selenium, and potassium.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms (button, cremini, or a mix), sliced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

 

Instructions

 

  1. In a saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and keep the broth warm.

  2. In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  3. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

  4. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and their liquid has evaporated.

  5. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat with the oil. Toast for 1-2 minutes.

  6. If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and let it simmer until absorbed, stirring frequently.

  7. Start adding the warm broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the broth is almost fully absorbed before adding more.

  8. Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender but still has a slight bite.

  9. Remove the risotto from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter until melted and creamy.

  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Enjoy this rich and creamy mushroom risotto as a satisfying vegetarian main dish or side!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto is a rich and indulgent dish, but there are ways to make it even healthier while maintaining its creamy texture and luxurious flavor. Using low-sodium chicken stock can help reduce sodium intake, while swapping brown rice or cauliflower rice for Arborio rice can increase fiber and lower the carb content. Lobster is naturally high in protein and low in fat, making it a great lean seafood choice, but using less butter and replacing some with heart-healthy olive oil can further lighten the dish. Opting for reduced-fat Parmesan or nutritional yeast can provide cheesy flavor with less saturated fat. The addition of lemon juice and zest not only enhances brightness but also delivers vitamin C and antioxidants. Serve with a side of leafy greens for an extra nutrient boost, and enjoy this creamy risotto as part of a well-balanced meal!

Bang Bang Cauliflower is a flavorful way to enjoy vegetables, but you can make it even healthier by baking instead of frying to reduce oil and calories. Use whole wheat panko breadcrumbs for added fiber, and swap regular mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or a light mayo to lower fat content while keeping the creamy texture. Cauliflower itself is nutrient-rich, providing vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and fiber to support digestion and overall health. The Sriracha and honey in the sauce add bold flavor with minimal calories, making this dish a satisfying and nutritious snack or appetizer option. Enjoy it as part of a balanced meal!
