Date Night Winner: Creamy Mushroom Risotto for Two

Delicious date night: creamy mushroom risotto for two

When night falls and the city lights begin to twinkle, date night begins. On a night like this, prepare a cosy dinner for your loved one and let the flavours of the meal be the medium of communication between you. And a well-made creamy mushroom risotto can definitely be a winner for the good times you share.

Ingredients preparation:

  • Abiolis rice 1 cup
  • Fresh white mushrooms 200g, sliced
  • 100ml whipping cream
  • Chicken stock 500ml
  • Butter 50g
  • Parmesan cheese 30g, grated
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • White wine 50 ml
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Parsley, finely chopped

Cooking steps:

  1. Firstly, bring the chicken stock to the boil in a small saucepan, then reduce the heat to keep it warm.
  2. Heat a deep bottomed pan over medium heat, add half of the butter, allow it to melt then add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion becomes transparent.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to sauté until they soften and release their moisture.
  4. Push the mushrooms to the side of the pan, add the rice to the pan and cook, stirring quickly, for about 1 minute to lightly toast the tops of the grains.
  5. Pour in the white wine and cook until the alcohol evaporates and the rice absorbs the flavour.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and begin adding hot chicken broth to the rice, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly, until the rice has absorbed the broth and the next ladle has been added, repeating this step for about 15-20 minutes.
  7. when the rice becomes full and takes on a thick texture, add the remaining butter and whipping cream and stir well.
  8. Finally, add the Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the cream is fully incorporated and the risotto takes on a smooth texture.
  9. Season with salt and black pepper and sprinkle with chopped parsley as a garnish.

The secret to winning a heartbeat:

A good creamy mushroom risotto is not only about its richness and layered flavours, but also about the thought you put into preparing it. When plating, use a mould to press the risotto into the shape of a heart, or simply place two portions of risotto just right and let the visual effect be a catalyst for emotion.
