Mushroom & Pea Brown Rice Risotto Recipe

Risotto is a classic Italian wholesome dish traditionally made with white arborio rice. Here I use short-grain rice with a long slow absorption method that creates a delicious wholefood plant-based version of the classic.

Serves: 4

GF, V, VG

Ingredients

Method

  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1½ cups uncooked short-grain brown rice
  • 1 sprig rosemary, leaves only, finely chopped
  • 6 cups liquid vegetable stock, warmed
  • 500g of your favourite mushrooms, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cooked peas
  • 1 cup microgreens
  1. Heat a large frying pan. Add the onion, garlic and celery and sauté for 3 mins.
  2. Add the brown rice and chopped rosemary leaves and stir well. Add 5 cups of the vegetable stock and stir well.
  3. Cover with a lid and bring to the boil. When boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook for 1½ hrs until all the liquid is absorbed and the grains of rice are soft.
  4. Meanwhile, sauté the mushrooms. When the rice is cooked, add 1 cup of stock. Then stir vigorously for 1–2 mins until the rice is creamy.
  5. Finally add the sautéed mushrooms and peas, mix well and top with microgreens.
