    What are Enoki Mushrooms?

    Have you heard of Enoki Mushrooms? They are those little thin white ones that have a cute little button looking top. When I lived in Japan we often ate at a place called Saizaria and they have a delicious mushroom spaghetti which was made with these little buds of delight. Many times since I have been back in Australia, I have dreamt of that pasta dish as it was SO good, but I haven't yet made the trip back to taste it one last time. (Most likely as the trip just for a bowl of pasta would seem impractical!!).

    What to cook with enoki mushrooms

    Enoki mushrooms are easy to cook with and there are hundreds of recipes you could try. This risotto is an original enoki mushroom recipe. You will love the flavour of the dish as well as trying something new.

    I have forgotten to say to you......Happy Friyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyay and that I hope you have had a great week! It is so nice to finish the week and log on to chat to you about foods that I love and hope you will love too.

    One of the best things about this dish is that it is a 'one pot' dish, so you can literally throw it all into a large saucepan with the lid on, potter about, coming back to stir for a bit every now and then and but a bing, but a bob, it is done! The benefit of that is not only the ease but also there is less washing up than a more complicated dish (got to love that right!).

    How to prepare enoki mushroom risotto

    The smell of the meal preparation is lovely and fragrant and this dish also freezes really well, so if you want to whip up a batch and then separate it into lunch portions, it will reheat at your office very nicely. Only problem with that is carbs if you eat it each day, so maybe change it up a bit and have one risotto, next day a lovely piece of frittata...........which brings me to my next point. I am going to share with you a super easy and delicious recipe for a Broccoli, Bacon and Cream Cheese Frittata...................so come back soon and it will also be here for your ears to devour and your 'to do list' to be filled with 'must make frittata, must make frittata, make it, mmm frittata, mmmm, YUM!.

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups arborio rice
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    • 1 leek, finely chopped
    • 125 grams enoki mushrooms
    • 1 330ml pear cider or dry white wine
    • 2 cups vegetable stock
    • ⅓ cup parmesan cheese
    • 1 tbsp cracked pepper
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon pepper

    Instructions

    • Add a splash of olive oil to a large fry pan at a medium heat, then add garlic and after a minute the leek.

    • Pour in the cider and listen to the sizzle (whoop!).
    • Cut the dirt bit of the mushroom bunch off and break them up and then add to the dish.
    • Add the rice, stir and fry off in the cider mix for about 2-3 minutes or until you can see the leek turns glossy or shiny. 
    • Add the vegetable stock and put the lid on the dish.
    • After 10 minutes, stir the dish to ensure no rice sticks to the bottom of the pan.
    • Leave for another 10 minutes or so, but don't go too far away, cause the liquid will get absorbed quicker on some stove tops than others.
    • When most of the liquid is absorbed, taste a little bit and if the rice is cooked through, turn the heat down, add the cheese and mix through until it is all melted.
    • If it is not fully cooked through, cook for a tiny bit longer until it is (again taste and judge from if the rice is crunchy or not).
    • Serve with cracked pepper, additional mushrooms and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. 

    Notes

    1. I use cider instead of wine as I was making a different risotto one day and that is all I had....but it was AMAZING and better than the last wine I had tried, so you can use either or. My vote is the pear cider but don't freak out if you only have wine and don't run out if you have everything but - try apple or pear or any version of white wine before despairing..............I am getting thirsty writing this but alas I am not drinking tonight as I have yoga super early in the morning tomorrow. 
    2. Have cracked pepper on hand - it is THE BEST garnish for this dish (and any risotto in my book). Need more cracked pepper stat.

      Enoki mushrooms are my favorite!! I love them so much, but never thought to put them in risotto. This is a match made in heaven 🙂

      As a big fan of one pot dishes your risotto recipe is a hit for me although it might take some time until I find enoki mushrooms in my region. Anyway, I love to experiment with different mushroom types. Can't wait to find enoki to try out your recipe:)

        Aweomse Gabi! I usually go to a fruit and veg store to get them. Not the major grocery stories. They will be in a bunch with the roots still attached keeping them together usually!

      Am I the only person who doesn’t know how much rice to measure?

        Hello Neleh! THANK-YOU!! You pointed out a mistake that I didn't know I had made. The recipe uses 2 cups of arborio rice. It is slightly different from white or basmati or even jasmine rice as it is really good at absorbing liquids. Thank-you for reading the recipe and thank-you for taking the time to point that out. I have now been able to update the recipe with the correct rice amount and I hope that you give the recipe a go and enjoy it! Cheers for your time.
