Camembert & Mushroom Risotto

Classic
serves 4

This creamy mushroom risotto is finished with Camembert for a gentle, savoury richness. The rice is cooked slowly with hot stock so it stays loose and glossy, while a little Parmesan adds depth.

  1. Heat the olive oil in a wide saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft, then stir in the garlic and mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until the mushrooms have released their moisture.

  2. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the white wine and let it bubble until almost absorbed.

  3. Add the hot vegetable stock a ladleful at a time, stirring often and allowing each addition to absorb before adding the next. Continue for 18–20 minutes until the rice is tender but still has a slight bite.

  4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, Camembert and Parmesan. Season with salt and black pepper, cover for 2 minutes, then loosen with a splash of hot stock if needed and serve.
