Expert Tips That I Recommend
- To get a nice creamy texture in your risotto, always choose high-quality rice with high starch.
- I stir the rice constantly as it helps release the starches from the rice, making it creamier.
- To ensure the rice is cooked thoroughly, simmer the rice over medium heat and let all the emulsification take place.
- Adding in cheese and butter at the end of the cooking process will enhance the flavor of your risotto.

Recipe Variations For Different Diet
- Vegan Diet: Substitute parmesan cheese for vegan parmesan cheese, making this risotto recipe suitable for their diet. Moreover, they can replace chicken broth with vegetable broth.
- Keto-Friendly Diet: To make this recipe suitable for the keto diet, I substitute arborio rice for cauliflower rice.
Storing And Reheating This Recipe
Storing
- Refrigerator: I store the leftovers of this recipe in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They last 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator.
- Freezer: All you need to do is store the mushrooms in an airtight container and label them with the date and time. Place the container in the freezer and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating this dish.
Reheating
- Stovetop: Risotto thickens when stored and requires some liquid to bring it back to the desired consistency. Hence, I gradually add some broth and cook it in the saucepan over medium heat.
- Microwave: Reheating Risotto in the microwave is easy. I transfer it to a microwave-safe dish and add broth or water to bring it to the desired consistency. Then, I reheat it in the microwave for 4 minutes on a medium heat setting. After a 2-minute interval, I stir it every 30 seconds to ensure that my risotto is evenly heated through.
What To Serve With This Recipe
While Ramsay’s Mushroom Risotto is a complete meal in itself, you can serve it with Sauteed Kale or roasted broccoli. My husband likes to enjoy it with some Garlic Bread or a simple salad on the side.
You can also serve it with Chicken Thighs, traditional Beef Patties, Salmon or Grilled Shrimp.
