Elevate your dinner table with our Gluten-Free Mushroom Risotto. Creamy Arborio rice cooked to perfection and infused with the earthy richness of mushrooms – this dish is comfort food reimagined. Each spoonful is a symphony of textures and tastes that will leave you craving more.
1. Prepare the Mushroom Stock:
In a saucepan, bring the vegetable or chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Keep it warm on the stove while you prepare the risotto.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms:
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they're golden brown and any moisture has evaporated. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set them aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Toast the Rice:
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat the grains with the oil. Toast the rice for about 2-3 minutes until the edges become slightly translucent.
5. Deglaze with Wine:
Pour in the dry white wine and stir until the liquid is mostly absorbed by the rice.
6. Cook the Risotto:
Begin adding the warm mushroom broth, one ladleful at a time, to the rice mixture. Stir constantly and allow the liquid to be mostly absorbed before adding more broth. Continue this process until the rice is cooked al dente and has a creamy consistency. This should take about 18-20 minutes.
7. Add Mushrooms and Cheese:
About halfway through the cooking time, stir in the sautéed mushrooms. Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is fully cooked. In the last few minutes, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and remaining tablespoon of butter.
8. Season and Finish:
Taste the risotto and season with salt and pepper as needed. The rice should be creamy and tender but still have a slight bite (al dente). If the consistency is too thick, you can add a bit more warm broth to reach your desired texture.
9. Serve:
Remove the risotto from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve the gluten-free mushroom risotto hot, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped parsley on top.
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them around the salmon.
4. Drizzle lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
5. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and the vegetables are roasted.
Healthy fats are essential to a healthy lifestyle and wild salmon contains some of the best Omega 3's that nature has to offer, supporting a healthy heart, decrease inflammation, and support brain health. Salmon is particularly high in selenium, an important nutrient that helps to balance thyroid hormone metabolism, and reproductive health.
