Ingredients & Substitutions

Arborio rice is crucial for the creamy texture of risotto. You can substitute mushrooms with any other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for a different flavor profile.

Tips & Notes

  • Stirring frequently helps release starches from the rice, creating a creamier texture.
  • You can add a splash of white wine after toasting the rice for an extra depth of flavor.

Recipe Variations

  • Add spinach or kale for a boost of greens.
  • Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy twist.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of broth to restore creaminess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this risotto with brown rice?

While you can use brown rice, the cooking time will increase significantly, and the texture will not be as creamy as with Arborio rice.
