Vegan risotto with shiitake and button mushrooms
The main ingredient of this dish is rice, as its name suggests: risotto comes from riso, the Italian word for this cereal.
This one in particular is a risotto ai funghi-style risotto, since it contains shiitake mushrooms and button mushrooms, which give it a delicate, irresistible flavor.
Risotto stands out for its texture, and the best part is that it needs no dairy or plant-based cream to achieve it, since the starch in the rice, combined with the way it is cooked (adding the stock little by little and stirring constantly), makes the result wonderfully creamy.
For this, keep in mind that not all rice is the same, so the arborio and carnaroli varieties are the most recommended for their higher starch content and their ability to hold up without overcooking.
This risotto ai funghi provides carbohydrates, fiber, amino acids, flavonoids, vitamins C, D, E and B (B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9 or folic acid), calcium, copper, phosphorus, sulfur, iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium, selenium, manganese, silicon and, in smaller amounts, zinc.

- Step 1We put in a pot the water and the broth tablet, and let it dissolve.
- Step 2We add the shiitake mushrooms and the mushrooms to the pot and cook them for 5 minutes. After this time, we take them out and reserve them.
- Step 3In a frying pan, heat the oil and chop the garlic and onion. When the oil is hot, we toss the garlic and the onion in the pan and let it be done until the onion is poached.
- Step 4We put the mushrooms and mushrooms in the pan with the onion, and let them be done for 3 minutes.
- Step 5Next, we put the rice in the pan and stir it for 3 more minutes.
- Step 6We add the wine and let it reduce, stirring from time to time. When we see that the rice has absorbed the wine, we take a saucepan of hot vegetable broth, and repeat every time the rice is running out of liquid, until all the broth has been poured.
- Step 7Once we have absorbed all the broth that we had, we stir again, turn off the heat and serve hot, with a little vegan parmesan cheese sprinkled on top if we want to highlight its flavor.
