Ingredients
- 1 (32-ounce) carton vegetable stock
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1 -In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the vegetable stock and the water and bring to a simmer. Keep it hot on the burner.
Step 2 -In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
Step 3 -Add the mushrooms and the onions to the oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4 -Add the Arborio rice and the garlic to the mushroom-onion mixture and cook, while stirring, until the rice is coated in the oil, about 1-2 minute.
Step 5 -Add the wine and the thyme to the rice mixture, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, while stirring, until the wine is absorbed.
Step 6 -In 1/2-cup increments, add the hot vegetable stock-water mixture to the rice mixture and stir after each addition. Cook the risotto mixture until the liquid is absorbed, and the risotto is creamy and tender, but firm to the bite.
Step 7 -Add the baby spinach, the peas, the parmesan cheese, the red wine vinegar, the salt, and the black pepper to the risotto and cook until it is heated through.
Step 8 -Serve.
