September is National Rice & Whole Grains Month, so it feels like the perfect time to celebrate one of my favorite comfort dishes with a little twist. This creamy miso mushroom risotto using @riceselect arborio rice pairs beautifully with the savory miso, earthy mushrooms, and a touch of sesame oil. It’s comforting, flavorful, and just a little unexpected. If you’re looking for an easy way to elevate your dinner routine this month, this is definitely one to try.

oz parmesan cheese

tbsp white miso

tsp sesame oil

dried shiitake mushrooms

tbsp unsalted butter
tsp salt & pepper
oz fresh mushrooms

bunch parsley

shallot

cup dry white wine

cup low sodium chicken broth

oyster mushrooms
cup arborio rice
tbsp garlic
- Add the dried mushrooms to a pot with broth. Keep at a gentle simmer while you cook. - Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and let the liquid cook down. Leave them untouched for a few minutes to brown, then flip and brown the other side. Remove and set aside. - Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, and cook until translucent. - Add the arborio rice and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly puffed. - Turn the heat to high. Add white wine and cook until fully evaporated. - Return the heat to medium. Add 1 ladle of hot broth at a time, stirring until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue this process for a total of 15–20 minutes. - Add the mushrooms back in with the last ladle of broth and stir well. - When the rice is al dente and creamy, turn off the heat. - Stir in cold butter, miso paste, and Parmesan until everything is melted and silky. - Spoon into bowls, drizzle with sesame oil, and garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.View original recipe
