Ingredients

  • For the risotto
  • 1 cup dry risotto rice
  • 3-4 cups broth I used water - I would have used broth if we’d had any!
  • 1 box of beans & greens or 1 cup of frozen greens and 1 cup of beans OR fresh greens and beans
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 oz creamy goat cheese log
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts toasted in a dry skillet
  • For the mushrooms
  • 1 pint cremini mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 oz sherry or white wine or broth

Instructions

  • Combine risotto rice and TWO cups of broth in a pot. Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer for 10-15 minutes, until liquid is mostly absorbed. Add 1 more cup of water. Repeat absorption, stirring sometimes. Add last cup of water along with beans + greens, salt, pepper and paprika. Cook until liquid is nearly absorbed. Add goat cheese and butter. Stir in.
  • For mushrooms, heat butter in a large pan. Add mushrooms and garlic. Sautee (stepping away!) for 5-8 minutes. Add a splash of sherry to deglaze.
  • Serve risotto with mushrooms on top and more paprika for garnish.
  • Top with walnuts.
