CBD Recipe: Mushroom Risotto

With a plethora of wellness benefits, more and more people are adding CBD oil to their food to create some delicious CBD recipes that really pack a punch.

At Orange County CBD, all of our premium quality oils and tinctures are made with a carrier oil, some basic flavourings, CBD and nothing else - making them the perfect choice to use in some CBD recipes. And to prove it, we decided to adapt a delicious mushroom risotto recipe to include a kick of our award-winning full spectrum CBD.

Mushroom risotto is a classic Italian dish that pairs sautéed mushrooms and rice with a well-seasoned and deliciously creamy sauce. Light, easy to make and utterly delicious, it’s the perfect indulgence for those warm summer evenings. As the recipe itself is nice and straightforward, it’s also easy to make it entirely vegan friendly without losing any of the flavour. With the added benefit of our high-quality CBD to enhance it all the further, this risotto is exactly what you need to unwind at the end of a day.

 

 

Standard Recipe

Ingredients

1 mushroom or vegetable stock cube

2 tbsp butter

1 onion, finely chopped

250g pack chestnut mushrooms, chopped

300g risotto rice, such as arborio

1 x 175ml glass white wine

100g butter

10g leek chopped

50g parmesan or Grana Padano, freshly grated

1 pipette of Orange County CBD oil (we used the 500mg full spectrum oil)

Method

STEP 1

Dissolve 1 mushroom or vegetable stock cube into a jar with 300ml of boiled water.

STEP 2

Heat 2tbsp butter in a shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium flame.

STEP 3

Stir in 250g of chopped chestnut mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for 8 mins until the mushrooms have softened.

STEP 4

Heat 100g of butter in a pan over a medium flame.

STEP 5

Tip 300g of risotto rice into the pan and cook for 1 min. Pour over a 175ml glass of white wine and let it bubble to nothing so the alcohol evaporates.

STEP 6

Keep the pan over a medium heat and pour in the sliced leek.

STEP 7

Gradually add the stock water to the rice. Simmer it, stirring often until it has absorbed all the liquid.

STEP 8

Add the fried mushroom to the rice - it should start to become creamy, plump and tender.

STEP 9

Continue stirring until the rice is cooked. If the rice is still undercooked, add a splash of water. Take the pan off the heat and add 50g parmesan or Grana Padano, freshly grated.

STEP 10

Add 1 pipette of Orange County CBD oil and stir. Cover and leave for a few mins so that the rice can take up any excess liquid as it cools. Serve with a sprinkling of grated parmesan or Grana Padano.

For a vegan version of this CBD recipe, simply replace the butter and cheese with plant-based alternatives. All of our CBD oils are entirely vegan-friendly.
