Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup wild mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm over low heat.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
  3. Add the chopped wild mushrooms and cook until softened.
  4. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
  5. Gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.
  6. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Let the mixture cool slightly, then form into small bite-sized balls.
  9. Place the risotto bites on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the risotto bites for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a vegan alternative.
  • These bites can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice for added flavor.
