Asparagus Risotto with Mushrooms

"Asparagus Risotto with Mushrooms Risotto is the ultimate Italian comfort food. Creamy, savory and satisfying, you'll love this flavorsome asparagus risotto with mushrooms from One Bite Vegan. The arborio or risotto rice is important in any risotto recipe so if you don’t have any to hand, don’t try and sub it out for a different type of rice. Arborio is a large-grain variety of rice that is the rice of choice for risotto due to its ability to absorb a large amount of liquid without overcooking and turning to mush. That’s why it’s important to use a great quality and superb tasting vegetable stock as it will permeate through the grains of rice and ensure a super tasty risotto. Mushrooms are great for adding a meaty texture and pair really well with the asparagus. When choosing your mushroom mix, feel free to use your favorite varieties. Oyster, shiitake or even button mushrooms would work well. See what’s available fresh at your local farmers market."
