Bacon Mushroom Risotto
Bacon mushroom risotto is such a comforting dish that is packed full of flavors. It is rich, creamy and addictively delicious, yet easy to make in one pan!
Ingredients
- 5 cups vegetable broth or increase up to 6 cups
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 6 strips bacon chopped
- 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms stems removed and sliced
- 1½ cup Japanese rice or other short grain rice, unwashed
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce or more
Optional toppings:
- Thinly sliced scallions
- Roasted white sesame
- Ground pepper
Instructions
- Thinly sliced scallions, toasted white sesame, ground pepper
- Heat up the vegetable broth in a saucepan.
- Heat up the olive oil in a large pan. Cook the onion and garlic together until lightly browned.
- Add in the bacon and mushrooms. Sauté until soft, for about 3 minutes.
- Add in the rice and cook for 1 minute to coat the grains with oil.
- Pour in the wine and scrape off any burned bits at the bottom (deglaze).
- Add one cup of heated broth to the rice and stir frequently but not constantly. Once the liquid is absorbed, add one more cup of broth. Keep adding broth one cup at a time until the rice is al dente soft (slightly firm) but not mushy. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
- Mix in the vegan butter and tamari soy sauce.
- Optional: garnish with scallions, white sesame and ground black pepper.
Notes
For any leftovers, store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days. Microwave to heat up, or cook on the stovetop with a bit of broth to loosen.
