Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Mushrooms
- 2 cups, sliced (preferably a mix of cremini and shiitake)
- Edamame
- 1 cup, shelled (fresh or frozen)
- Arborio rice
- 1 ½ cups
- Vegetable broth
- 4 cups
- Saffron threads
- 1 teaspoon
- Paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon (to taste)
- Black pepper
- ½ teaspoon (to taste)
- Fresh parsley
- ¼ cup, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and edamame, cooking until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the Arborio rice, stirring well to ensure each grain is coated in the flavorful oil and vegetables.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and add the saffron, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Tips
- For an added layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine after sautéing the onions and garlic.
- You can substitute the edamame with green peas for a different flavor profile or use a mix of both.
- For a spicier kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños when cooking the mushrooms.
