Method

Prepare the Risotto Base

  1. 1

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Toast the Arborio Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir for about 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetable Stock Gradually

    Pour in 1 cup of vegetable stock and stir frequently until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Continue adding the stock, one cup at a time, allowing the rice to absorb it before adding more. This process will take about 20-25 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season the Risotto

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Mushroom Topping

  1. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a separate skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper.

Prepare the Crispy Parsnips

  1. 6

    Slice and Roast Parsnips

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and thinly slice the parsnips. Toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Assemble and Serve

  1. 7

    Plate the Risotto

    Spoon the risotto onto plates or into bowls. Top with sautéed mushrooms, a generous amount of crispy parsnips, and a handful of microgreens.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Serve warm and enjoy your delicious veggie risotto!
