Ingredients
200g chestnut mushrooms (thinly sliced)
1 shallot (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (pressed)
350g arborio rice
3 tbsp olive oil
1 litre of vegetable stock
100ml dry white wine (optional)
Amore Italian Spice Mix (to taste)
Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
Balsamic glaze (optional)
Truffel mayonnaise (optional)
Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Keep your heat low during the entire cooking time.
- Add the onion and garlic. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until softened and the aromas are released.
- Stir in the rice and make sure it is all coated in the oil and well mixed. Wait for about 2 minutes before you move on to the next step.
- If you are adding wine, this is the moment to do it: pour it in, stir well and wait until the liquid has been absorbed. If you are not adding wine skip this step.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, the desired amount of spice mix and stir everything really well.
- Add about 100ml of stock, stir well and wait until the liquid has been fully absorbed. Continue adding the stock in this manner, until you have used up all the liquid and the rice has achieved a tenderness to your liking: soft and creamy or al dente, with a slight hard bite.
Buon appetito!

Hello ☺️ This looks delicious! I would make it, doesn’t sound too difficult I think… but I’m not sure how to make rice in this form. Do you have instruction?
I also looked at table setting pictures. Is this the same?
Hello Tanya, Thank you for your message.
This youtube video might be helpful for you 🙂
It is important to oil the food ring before using it, then clean and re-oil again after each plating, otherwise the rice might stick to it.
We assume that with the table setting pictures you mean the placemats and plates in both articles? If that is what you mean, then the answer is: “yes” 😉 Otherwise, please let us know which article you are referring to.
Have a lovely day!
