Homegrown Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto on plateI love growing my own mushrooms at home. It's easy to do and I love that they're not covered in unknown dirt. They turn out so yummy that they are a fantastic replacement for meat. Of course, if you don't grow your own mushrooms at home, use store bought ones when you try this recipe. You will love it either way!

You can get organic mushroom grow kits online. I've added a link to one of my favourite oyster mushroom kits below. I've had great success with this line and have been able to grow quite a few from one kit. You can also find these kits at discount stores for a third of the price.

  3. Add the rice to the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring, until the grains are toasted. This gives it a lovely nutty flavour.

  5. Mix together veggie broth and wine. Pour about 1/3 of the mixture into the rice, but just enough that it covers the rice. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. You will stir this frequently while you start the cook-down of the mushrooms and asparagus.

  9. This is where you really must be very attentive to both pans. Add liquid portion 2 of 3 to the rice, just enough that it covers the rice. Keep stirring. At this point, if you take a bite, it will be half-cooked

  13. Add liquid portion 3 of 3 to the rice, just until covered, and stir. It should take about 35-ish minutes for all of the liquid to be absorbed, start to finish. You might have some leftover liquid by the end of this, and that is okay.
