Vegan Mushroom Risotto - The most seductive dish

[@RainbowPlantLife]

This mushroom risotto is my go-to for a special date night at home! What's yours?

[@KrisHesselmark]

I wanted to make this risotto for my parents, but not when its this sexy!

[@derryXDINES]

Mine is seafood risotto (lobster or shrimp or both!), but mushroom is a close second!

For us it's usually a classic pasta (e.g. alla arrabiata) with homemade garlic knots and a glass of wine. 🍝

[@Mother_of_Pigeons]

Since my husband is allergic to mushrooms, I am going to seduce myself by making this dish.

[@nk47100]

I was just going to say this - if only I could make this but my husband had become intolerant or even allergic to mushrooms. I will make this for myself!

Can I see this in private?

[@AntonioRaele]

I am Italian and you have done the risotto recipe correctly, as we do in Italy. However, the final texture should be much creamier, and not as sticky as yours. To fix it I would have simply added another ladle of broth at the end without letting it evaporate. We say that the consistency of the risotto must be "all'onda" (I know, we are obsessed with these things.. "al dente", "all'onda" etc. 😂). "Onda" means "wave", so when the risotto is ready, if you move the pan with a sharp blow, the risotto creates a kind of wave on the surface, so it must not be too watery or too compact, but something in the middle. Finally, another thing an Italian would never do is use all that garlic, especially if you want to seduce someone and you don't want your breath to stink 🤣. For the rest, it's "perfetto" **italian chef’s kiss** 😆

[@itsonlysound]

Helpful tips! Thank you:D

[@leedent7260]

Grazie Antonio, come va?

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you Antonio, very helpful! I will look for the wave next time :) But I love my garlic too much to part with it 😂

I am a relatively young widow and have been struggling to eat right since my husband died; I just hated eating alone. You have inspired me to return to plant-based eating (have been subsisting on takeout Thai and chocolate) and to make food that is nurturing, healthy, and delicious. You also make me laugh and it’s a delight seeing you and your boyfriend’s clear affection for each other. Thank you Nisha for sharing your talent and passion with me and the world.

I started my vegan lifestyle during quarantine in Victoria Australia and I subscribed to your channel immediately and I bought Gaz Oakley’s books and subscribed to his channel as well. When my friends and family asked why I was dieting I replied vegan is a lifestyle not a diet. Great channel and great recipes!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Lovely to hear that you've been enjoying your new vegan lifestyle. Thank you for your support :)

Just made this.

Season the risotto as it cooks. The miso mushroom is fantastic itself! Nighly recommend!!

[@sandrawiersma2512]

My Italian friend taught me that at least in Rimini, they toast the rice in a separate pan before they add it to the leek/shallot/garlic, until it picks up a teensy bit of color. It makes the rice taste more nutty, and it cooks a little bit faster.

[@mbtravel7294]

Hi new subscriber here, I have to say , that looks incredible. I will definitely be tuning in to see more. I am slowly converting to veganism.

Tip: whenever you cook mushrooms, add a sprinkle of tarragon. It's the mystic mushrooms spice.

I made this yesterday and it was so good. I sadly never had Miso paste before so I didn't knew how it tastes. And no supermarket in my area sold this.

[@rodrigoruiz1988]

This looks like a great vegan alternative to risotto. I would only add some sort of fat at the end. Ask any Italian and you’ll know you don’t have risotto until you’ve done the most important step: “la mantecatura.” They usually do this with aged cheese (like parmesan or pecorino Romano or other) and butter. So perhaps even just a little extra olive oil at the end and stirring would make it that much better.
