Roasted Mushroom Risotto
with Goat Cheese- Sulphites
- Milk
- Almonds
This weeknight-ready risotto takes less time but it’s just as satisfying! Roasting the mushrooms brings out deep mushroom flavour and stirring in goat cheese adds a zippy creaminess. We've also added green peas for bites of freshness and toasted almonds for crunch!

Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Combine 2 3/4 cups water (5 1/2 cups for 4 ppl), half the thyme stems (use all for 4 ppl) and broth concentrates in a medium pot. Cover, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, still covered.
While broth comes to a boil, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer almonds to a plate.
Add 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pan, then swirl the pan until melted. Add mirepoix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min. Season with salt. Add rice and cooking wine. Cook, stirring often, until wine is absorbed, 2-3 min.
Carefully add broth and peas to the pan with rice mixture. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broth is absorbed and rice is tender, 20-23 min. Using tongs, carefully remove thyme stems from risotto. Reduce heat to low.
Meanwhile, quarter mushrooms. Add mushrooms and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. Season with half the garlic salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast mushrooms in the middle of the oven until fork-tender, 14-16 min.
Stir mushrooms and goat cheese into risotto. Cook, stirring often, until cheese melts, 2-3 min. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper, to taste. Divide risotto between plates. Sprinkle almonds over top.
