Smoked Gouda Risotto with Mushrooms

  1. To prepare risotto, combine water and broth; set aside. Melt butter in a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add ⅓ cup shallots; cover and cook 2 minutes. Add rice; cook 2 minutes, uncovered, stirring constantly. Stir in ½ cup wine; cook 30 seconds or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add ½ teaspoon salt and broth mixture, ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth mixture is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes total). Stir in Gouda; cook just until melted.
  2. To prepare mushrooms, heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, and saute 5 minutes or until beginning to brown. Add ⅓ cup shallots, ¼ cup wine, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic, and sauté 1 minute or until wine is absorbed. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper.
  3. Divide risotto evenly among bowls; top with mushroom mixture. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.

    I’m pretty sure I pinned this recipe, and now that I have your recommendation, I’m going to be making this OH SO VERY SOON. My favorite burger in the world is a marsala burger with mushrooms and smoked gouda, and putting those flavors in risotto is brilliant. I know my husband would love this too.

  2. Rachel @ Not Rachael Ray:

    Oh yum. This would have to be a side dish in my house if hubs was home, but I love the addition of gouda!

  3. Erin:

  4. Tracey:

    That looks insanely good Amanda! I love risotto too but I’m usually too lazy to make it myself. I might have to make an exception for this version though :)

    I recently fell in love with risotto. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to try it out. Then you added smoked gouda! That just takes it to a whole new level of happiness for me.

    You basically made everything I could live off of in one dish! :D I love risotto, cheese, and mushrooms so much. If I was there with you, I would have eaten 3 bowls of the stuff. It’s looks amaaazing.
