Equipment
- Large skillet or saucepan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Ladle
- Chef's knife
- cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons cannabis-infused olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms (such as cremini or button), sliced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the cannabis-infused olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted
- Add the chopped shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown
- Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat the grains with the oil and butter mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice becomes translucent around the edges
- Pour in the dry white wine (if using) and cook, stirring constantly, until the wine has been absorbed by the rice
- Begin adding the vegetable broth to the skillet, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is tender and creamy, about 20-25 minutes
- Once the risotto reaches the desired consistency, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving
- To serve, garnish the Mellow Mushroom Risotto with chopped fresh parsley and an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired
