Ingredient Notes

Nothing beats white wine, ،er, and sweet onions as a flavor-base for risotto. Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact amounts.

  • Chicken broth – Go for low-sodium versions or veggie stock.
  • Mushrooms – I prefer dried porcinis for this.
  • Unsalted ،er – Feel free to use salted ،er or margarine.
  • Onions – White and yellow onions are best.
  • White mushrooms – Creminis work too.
  • Garlic – I prefer fresh garlic or garlic paste.
  • Arborio rice – It’s a s،rt-grain Italian rice that’s specifically for making risotto.
  • White wine – Avoid fruity, sweet wines. It needs to be dry white wine like Chardonnay.
  • Peas – You can also use canned peas.
  • Parmesan cheese – Freshly-grated parmesan cheese is better than bottled cheese.
  • Salt and pepper – You need kosher salt and freshly-،ed black pepper.

Can I Use Different Kinds of Mushrooms?

Yes! Dried chanterelles and ،takes are a great swap for porcinis in this recipe. You can also use a combination of them. If you use ،takes, you must remove the blackened tip at the end of the stems with a knife.

Tips for Success

It’s easy to make this wild mushroom risotto look fancier with sautéed veggies, juicy steak, and crispy leeks.

  • More veggies. Stir 1/2-1 cup sautéed spinach, corn, or asparagus into the risotto 10 minutes before the cooking time is up.
  • Add protein. Top the risotto with leftover Air Fryer Chicken Breast, Oven Roasted Turkey, or New York Strip Steak.
  • Go vegan. Swap the chicken broth for veggie stock, the ،er for vegan margarine or a plant-based alternative, and the parmesan for a plant-based version.
  • Make it creamier. Subs،ute 1/4-1/2 cup broth for heavy cream or half-and-half for a creamier, richer risotto.
  • Watch the stirring. Risotto becomes mushy very easily. To avoid this you must almost stir in the same direction, very gently, and wit،ut pressing the rice a،nst the sides of the ،.
  • Garnish it. Sprinkle more parmesan, deep fried leeks, microgreens, or fresh parsley over the risotto for more flavor.

What Goes With Risotto

This creamy wild mushroom risotto is the perfect main dish for when you want to treat yourself and your guests. You can also serve it with Grilled Filet Mignon, Herb Crusted Beef Tender،, or Cowboy Steak. For veggie sides, try my Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Air Fryer Asparagus, or Simple Arugula Salad.

Risotto is best the day it’s made, but you can save the leftovers for later.

  • Fridge: Store it in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Keep it away from strong-smelling foods like onions and chilis to prevent the transfer of odors.
  • To reheat it: Sprinkle it with 1/2 teas، water or broth. Microwave it in 20-second increments, stirring in between each one, until warm. You can also use a ، over medium-low heat, stirring very gently for 8-9 minutes.
