Mushroom Vegetable Risotto

Mushroom Vegetable Risotto

Delicious creamy Mushroom Vegetable Risotto

1 cup Arborio rice
2 Tbs butter
Salt
garlic powder
1 packet Lipton Vegetable soup mix
8 oz diced fresh mushrooms
8 oz chicken broth + additional broth added during cooking
white wine – some for the recipe, the rest for the cook  😉
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Saute rice in melted butter for a few minutes.  Add a dash of salt and garlic powder.  Add mushrooms and saute a couple minutes more.  Pour in 8 oz chicken broth, stir.  Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.

As the liquids are absorbed, add more chicken broth or wine a little at a time and keep simmering, stirring and adding more liquids as needed until the rice is tender.  (This is kind of tedious but will be worth it!)

When rice is finally tender stir in the cheeses.

Ta-Dah!  Enjoy your Risotto!

Mushroom Vegetable Risotto

Red Pesto and Vegetable Penne

1/4 cup olive oil
1 eggplant, cubed
1 red pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 orange bell pepper, deseeded and chopped
12 ounces dry penne pasta
3 tablespoons red pesto sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
fresh ground black pepper
8 ounces feta cheese
basil leaves (to garnish)

Heat the olive oil in a large pan, add the eggplant and peppers, and sauté over a moderate heat for 10 minutes until the eggplant is golden and the peppers softened and browned at the edges.
While the vegetables are sautéing, cook the penne in a large pan of boiling water for 8 minutes or until al dente. Drain, return to the pan and add the red pesto, stirring until the penne is coated. Add the rice vinegar to the eggplant and pepper mix, and season with black pepper. Spoon the penne on to warm plates and pile the vegetables on top. Crumble over the feta cheese and serve garnished with basil leaves.
