Shiitake mushroom and broccoli risotto

October 5, 2019 By Terry Leave a Comment

Shiitake Mushroom Risotto
This risotto can be used as a main dish for a light meal with a little fruit on the side.

Usually, Friday night is shiitake mushroom night in our house. For some time now, I’d been wanting to try my hand at a risotto. I came across a risotto recipe that included shiitake mushrooms. The original recipe did not include broccoli, but did include ingredients that we (on our gluten and soy free diets) could not have. This recipe is gluten-free, soy-free, and low in sodium (if you don’t add salt!)

Shiitake Mushroom Risotto
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat vegetable broth over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce heat to low to keep warm.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and shallot. Sauté for 3- 4 minutes - stirring frequently.
  3. Add mushrooms and broccoli, season with pepper and salt (if desired), and continue sautéing until the mushrooms are golden brown and caramelized.
  4. Add the thyme and arborio rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Then add 1/4 cup broth and stir gently. Cook for 2 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  5. Keep heat on medium so the mixture continues to simmer. Add the warmed vegetable stock, about 1/2 cup at a time. After each addition of stock, allow the mixture to return to a simmer, then stir constantly until the stock is mostly absorbed. If the heat is too high, the risotto will cook too quickly or may become gummy. Continue cooking until liquid is mostly absorbed and rice is al dente. (If all liquid is absorbed and rice is not done to your liking, you can remove the skillet from the heat and place a tight-fitting lid over the top for a couple of minutes).
  6. Once the rice is done, remove skillet from heat and add parmesan cheese. Stir to coat). Taste and adjust flavor as needed by adding salt, pepper, or more to coat). Taste and adjust flavor as needed by adding salt, pepper, or more parmesan. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more warmed broth.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
