📍 Italy

Difficulty: Medium

Mushroom risotto made in the Thermomix delivers the creamy, slow-cooked texture of the Italian classic without constant stirring. Arborio rice is coaxed through the gradual absorption of white wine and warm stock, while mixed mushrooms add an earthy depth rounded off with Parmesan and cold butter. A full Italian trattoria dish on the table in thirty minutes.

💡 Chef's tip

Risotto needs a final resting phase off the heat with cold butter. That is the secret of the mantecato.

📝 Our take

The Thermomix does the hard work of risotto, which is non-stop stirring for twenty minutes. The result is creamy and well-cooked, though it loses a bit of the hands-on control. Perfect for weeknights; for a dinner you want to show off, make it by hand.

🍷 Wine & food pairing

A Barbera d'Asti or light Burgundy Pinot Noir. The wine must have acidity to cut through the creaminess of the mantecato.

Suggested wine: Barbera d'Asti o Pinot Noir borgoñón
