Vegetarian Platter Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Risotto

    In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Arborio rice to the saucepan, stirring for 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.

  3. 3

    Gradually add vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed. This should take about 18-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Once the rice is creamy and cooked, stir in Ozark mushrooms and Parmesan cheese (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Grill the Vegetables

    While the risotto cooks, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red peppers, onion, and tomatoes.

  6. 6

    Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil on a grill or grill pan over medium heat.

  7. 7

    Grill the red peppers and onion slices for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and have grill marks. Add tomatoes for the last 2-3 minutes.

  8. 8

    Assembly

    To serve, place a generous scoop of mushroom risotto on each plate. Arrange grilled vegetables on top or beside the risotto.

  9. 9

    Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and garnish with fresh basil.
