Ingredients

25g pack Merchant Gourmet Mixed Dried Mushrooms

50ml port (or red wine)

2 medium onions, peeled and chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 tbsp olive oil

250g pack Asda Chestnut Mushrooms, halved

180g pack Asda Portobello Mushrooms, sliced

75g pack Asda Extra Special Shiitake Mushrooms, halved

250g Asda Arborio rice

1 litre hot vegetable stock

Handful fresh parsley

50g Parmesan, grated

Method

1
Put the dried mushrooms in a pan and pour over the port or red wine and a cup of boiling water. Leave to soak for 20 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
2
Sweat the onions and garlic in the olive oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the fresh mushrooms and fry for 4-5 minutes or until browned.
3
Add the rice and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the soaked dried mushrooms. Stir again.
4
Add the stock, a ladle at a time, stirring after each addition, until absorbed. For a creamy risotto, add all the stock; for a firmer risotto, use as much as is necessary.
5
Remove from the heat, leave to rest for 2 minutes, then add the parsley and 25g of the Parmesan. Sprinkle with black pepper and serve with the rest of the cheese.
