Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Trim stems from button and cremini mushrooms, then thinly slice caps. Keep caps and stems separate.
  • Cut or tear oyster mushrooms lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Pick sage leaves from stems. Keep leaves and stems separate.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Fry bacon and sage leaves
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • Cut bacon strips in half crosswise. When the pan is hot, add bacon. Cook for 5-7 min, flipping occasionally, until crispy.**
  • Remove from heat. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. 
  • Discard bacon fat from the pan. Carefully wipe the pan clean
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high. Add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil, then sage leaves. Fry for 1 min, until crisp. (TIP: We love to use olive oil for frying sage.)
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer fried sage to the paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt while hot. Set aside.
  • Reserve residual sage oil in the pan.
Make broth
3
  • Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine 4 1/2 cups (5 1/2 cups) warm water, broth concentrate, sage stems and mushroom stems.
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, still covered.
Cook veggies
4
  • Reheat the pan with sage oil (from step 2) over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add onions and remaining mushrooms. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • Add garlic salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) chili flakes. (NOTE: Like things spicy? Add more chili flakes!)
  • Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
Make risotto
5
  • To the pan with veggies, add rice and garlic. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Add cooking wine. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until wine is absorbed.
  • Add 1 cup broth from the pot. (NOTE: Leave sage and mushroom stems behind in the pot.)
  • Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until broth is absorbed by rice.
  • Continue to add broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring often, for 22-28 min, until broth is absorbed, texture is creamy and rice is tender.
Finish and serve
6
  • When the final addition of broth has been added to the risotto, add spinach, half the Parmesan and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter.
  • Cook for 1-3 min, stirring often, until spinach wilts and broth is almost completely absorbed.
  • Remove from heat, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Roughly chop bacon.
  • Divide risotto between bowls.
  • Sprinkle bacon, remaining Parmesan and fried sage over top.
  • Sprinkle with any remaining chili flakes, if you like.
