Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 200 g chestnut mushrooms sliced
  • 250 g risotto rice half of a pack normally

  • handful parsley chopped

Optional

  • 25 g butter or vegan butter
  • grana padano cheese or vegan cheese to garnish

  • Stir it occasionally, until the wine evaporates. Then add half of the stock and again: stir it occasionally until the stock evaporates. Add the other half of the stock and repeat.
    When the risotto is cooked, you could add the butter, just stir it in. It makes the risotto more velvety, but you can skip it if you are watching your calorie intake.
    Enjoy.
