The Perfect Creamy Garlic Mushroom Risotto You Need

Creamy garlic mushroom risotto is something that I make quite regularly and have made on the channel before, but this was when I first started the channel and the video itself, and the recipe needed to be updated. This recipe is easy to make, can be made cheap (depending on which brands you use) and of course, tastes amazing. Please enjoy this delicious risotto recipe.

Ingredients -

Mushroom Mix -

1 1/2 Tbsp (30ml) - Olive Oil
450g (1lb) - Swiss Brown Mushrooms, Thinly Sliced
10g (0.5oz) - Flat Leaf Parsley, Roughly Chopped

4 - Sage Leaves, Roughly Chopped
1 - Lemon, Juiced (Zest can be used)
Seasoning To Taste

Risotto -

1 1/2 Tbsp (30ml) - Olive Oil

15g (0.5oz) - Dried Porcini Mushrooms
1/3 Cup (80ml) - White Wine (Sub with veg or chicken stock)
6 Cups (1 1/2 Litres) - Vegetable or Chicken Stock (I use chicken)
2 Tbsp (28g) - Unsalted Butter
Parmesan Cheese To Taste, Freshly Grated
Seasoning To Taste

Garnish -

Flat Leaf Parsley
Parmesan Cheese
Cracked Black Pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Recipe Notes -

Dried Porcini Mushrooms -

Porcini mushrooms are the king of mushrooms and when dried, rehydrated and added to a dish such as this, the flavour that they create is phenomenal. I wouldn't recommend replacing them if you don't want to use them as there's not much that can replicate their amazing flavour. If you don"t use them, the risotto won't be as strong in flavour and will be less rich.

Herbs -

All the herbs can be substituted with their dried counterparts if you don"t want to buy fresh herbs.

Dried Parsley - 1 tsp (1g)
Dried Thyme - 1/2 tsp (0.5g)
Dried Sage - 1/2 tsp (0.5g)

Please note that the dried herbs won't release the same flavour as fresh and will be more concentrated.

Alcohol Concerns -

If you cant consume alcohol or don't want to, this recipe and any other recipe can be substituted with stock.

Vegetarian & Vegan -

To make this vegetarian, use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.

To make this vegan, use vegetable stock and substitute the unsalted butter with margarine or olive oil spread.

Would love to see some more breakfast videos. I've always found myself wondering what else I can make besides the basic egg recipes as much as I love them I'd like to change things up but I don't know where to start. Your recipes are amazing, keep up the good work :)

[heleng]

Congratulations on your 1m subscribers, you are sensational. I have cooked a lot of your dishes and all delicious. My cooking has vastly improved due to your clear and concise instructions, I also like the alternative ingredients your provide. Thank you

[Flea]

Would love to see how you make your stocks from all those scraps. I’m also really into reducing food waste, so I’d love to see how you stock your fridge or plan your weeks meals.

Absolutely love your channel though, it feels really down to earth and I love the explanations for things and what they do to the dish

[elliottdiamond]

You're crushing it lately mate! Nice work!

[traceybradshaw]

Love your meal prep videos. We have 3 young adults here at home who work multiple jobs and/or study, with people coming and going at random times. Regular family meal times just don’t work in our household these days, except for special occasions. I’d love to see some breakfast meal prep ideas and maybe lunch or healthy snack ideas, though your meal prep recipes have worked well for lunches and dinners here. Anything that freezes well works great for us.

Jack of topic here but ur garlic chilli noodles is the best quick food when busy working week thx

[nm]

Can't wait to make this, thanks for another excellent post.

[jacquiemouton]

Hmmmm.... Looks utterly delicious. Thanks so much Jack.x

[michaelc]

Hi Jack. :) Personally you don't need to change anything - really enjoy your channel the way it is. Love your recipes.

[shaqtaku]

Love your video format exactly as it is. Never change CJO

[LewzyDee]

I know you are looking for things to spice up the channel and what not but I do want to say that one of my favourite things about this channel is that there isn't really any fluff :) Its just informative and easy to understand and fairly quick and fun, but im sure whatever you do will be great

[radhika_th]

i tried your lasagne recipe, came out so good. I made it yesterday again. Definitely going to try this one too. thx!

I have a few suggestions. Not that what I see on this channel isn't already to my...taste. ;P
1.Baking - I'm don't know if that's part or your cooking expertise but I wouldn't mind seeing some of it on the channel. Both sweet at savoury things.
2. Equipment - Videos explaining what kind kitchen gear one should have, what to look for in the items, reasonable prices for them and maybe how to maintain them.
3. ingredients - How to determin if a produce is good/bad, what to buy depending on season and region. What certain ingrediens bring to the dish (Something you already do in your usual videos).
4. Cooking techniques - Everything from the best ways to cut different things to how you flip something in a pan or what braising, sauteing etc mean and how best to do them.

All in all I'm already very satisfied with your content and how you responsed to comments and these are after all my subjective suggestions and it won't really change how I view you content as I already like the channel. But atleast now you have a few potential things to choose from in case you like any of the suggestions.

[liorb]

I really enjoy and like the content so far. This is one of a few channels on youtube that really gave me nice ideas and tips for cooking. Whatever change planned, I hope to see more recipies in the way illustrated so far :)

[bemusedindian]

Hey chef - Thanks. That info about not allowing the last ladle of stock to absorb has changed my life. :)

[mommom]

This looks so great....would love a taste....might try it. Thank You 😊

[condaddypop]

started my subscription on the creamy garlic mushroom sauce so this one really hits home. Loving the output of videos

[jasonm]

Jack you magnificent bastard youve done it AGAIN !!!! this looks sooo delish and easy and i dont have to spend days researching where to buy any of the ingredients nor bring in the builders to extend my kitchen to make it ! 💯👍👍

[perrykirschbaum]

Great video… creamy, mouth watering, decadently rich… yum! Got to be careful not to eat it all at once. You were right in remembering to portion it out especially since I usually eat alone. Thanks Chef Jack

[Pandabebis]

Whatever you do, please never change the asmr pepper cracks worth. I live for it
