Wild Mushroom Risotto- A creamy risotto with intense, woody mushroom flavours and Parmesan shavings. In a saucepan, warm the broth over low heat. When it comes to selecting wild mushrooms, the fresher, the better. Add to the heady, earthy flavor of those 'shrooms a little dry white wine, homemade mushroom stock, cream, butter, shallots, thyme, and of course, risotto rice (we love the Arborio rice from Lundberg Family Farm), and this risotto recipe becomes pure magic.
Steps to make Wild mushroom risotto:
- Start by soaking the dried mushrooms with the boiling water, do this at least 1 hour before you make the risotto so that the mushrooms get soft, so that the grit sinks to the bottom of the jug and so that the stock is full of flavour. Slice and pan fry the portobello mushrooms and season lightly.
- Remove the mushrooms from your pan and add a little olive oil, add the finely diced shallot, celery and garlic. Stir over a medium low heat for just a minute before adding the rice, stir this around for a further couple of minutes so that you rough up the smooth surface of the rice, this makes soaking up the stock more efficient.
- After a couple of minutes stirring add the now chopped up wild mushrooms, then add the white wine and stir until the wine has been absorbed, then add about 1/3 of the mushroom stock. Take care not to add the sediment from the mushrooms, I've used a fine mesh sieve but you can pour yours through a coffee filter?
- You can now add the portabello mushrooms back in the pan now and stir gently for the next 20 minutes approx, adding more stock when the last amount has absorbed - evaporated.
- Taste the risotto for flavour but also for the texture of the rice, you want it to be soft but not mushy like porridge, I like my rice grains to be separate but on the verge of breaking up. If you have used all of your stock but need more cooking just add some hot water as I did in the second image. Once your happy with the rice add the butter. If your a purist and object to this calm down you can add olive oil but butter makes it better in my opinion.
- Time to add the herbs and parmesan, check for seasoning
- Spoon into a bowl of your choice, it should form a small mound which can be encouraged to lay flat by tapping the bottom or shaking the bowl. I've used the remainder of my parmesan as shavings but finely grated would be fine, I've added more parsley and got stuck in.

Deglaze with white wine and cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring often. The flavor of the mushrooms with the white wine vinegar mix in at the end, had just the twist of flavor that left everyone saying this was better than restaurant risotto.

Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood
A lot of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are terrible and to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be extremely healthy and good for you. There are some foods that, when you consume them, can better your mood. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually great at beating back depression. You must make sure, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Eat a couple of eggs to jolly up!
Put together a trail mixfrom various seeds and nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because these nuts are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin you have, the better you will feel. Nuts, along with elevating your mood, can be a super source of protein.
If you want to battle depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can really help you overcome your depression.
Grains can be wonderful for overcoming a bad mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually great for helping raise your happiness levels. They help you feel full as well which can truly help to improve your mood. Feeling hungry can really bring you down! These grains can improve your mood as it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. You digest these grains quicker than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Green tea is actually excellent for your mood. You were simply expecting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid actually stimulates brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while simultaneously loosening up the rest of your body.
