Recipe 2: Mushroom Risotto

Mushroom are in season all year round, and one of our Green Box customers has shared this delicious recipe to make the most of them. If you choose to order, you will receive the full printed recipe in your Green Box at Friday’s collection. A small fee of €1 is attached to each recipe to meet the website’s minimum product value and help cover printing costs.

If you wish to make this 40min meal, you will need to order the following from The Green box this week:

• Button Mushrooms x 1 – Breffni Mushrooms
• Risotto Rice – The Cottage Market Pantry
• Onions – Ballymore Organic Farm

Your Pantry

• Olive Oil
• Garlic –  you may have stocked up on Green box garlic earlier in the season. We always recommend buying garlic when it’s at its peak, as it stores beautifully for months.
• Veg stock cube – recipe to follow in the new year on how to  create homemade vegetable stock using veg scraps and store cupboard essentials.
• White wine vinegar
• Nutritional Yeast Flakes – available in all Health shops. A store cupboard staple.
• Salt and Pepper

This recipe takes a touch of patience as you’ll need to add the stock gradually, one ladle at a time. The reward is a wonderfully comforting dish that you’ll find yourself looking forward to.
