Description

Creamy risotto with tender squid and earthy mushrooms. A quick, elegant weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cups (237 ml) mushroom slices
  • 1 lbs (454 g) cleaned squid tubes cut into 1cm rings
  • 1 cup (237 ml) chopped coriander
  • 1 cup (237 ml) fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 lbs (454 g) Arborio risotto rice
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) white wine
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper powder
  • 1 punch salt

Instructions

  1. Add rice and water (1:1.2) to the rice cooker until cooked.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add oil, garlic, and capers; cook until the garlic is lightly golden.
  3. Add mushrooms and white wine; cook until the mushrooms are softened. Add squid rings and cook for one minute.
  4. Stir in cooked rice, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes until the squid is completely cooked.
  5. Remove from heat, add coriander and Parmesan cheese, and serve.

Notes

  • To ensure tender squid, do not overcook; aim for 1-2 minutes after adding to the pan.
  • For a richer flavor, use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out the risotto.
