Rizoto Me Manitaria

Rizoto Me Manitaria is a creamy and flavorful Greek rice dish featuring earthy mushrooms and aromatic herbs. This comforting vegetarian meal is perfect for a cozy dinner, embodying the essence of Mediterranean cuisine.

Ingredients

• Arborio rice - 150 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Mushrooms (button or cremini) - 200 grams, sliced
• Vegetable broth - 500 ml
• White wine - 100 ml
• Parmesan cheese (grated) - 30 grams
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat and keep it warm.
2. In a separate large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 7-8 minutes.
4. Stir in the Arborio rice, allowing it to toast for about 2 minutes until slightly translucent.
5. Pour in the white wine and stir until it has mostly evaporated.
6. Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously and allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. Repeat this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
7. Once the rice is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Let it sit for 2 minutes before serving, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
