Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
– 4 large portobello mushroom caps
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 1 tbsp unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup Arborio rice
– 1/2 cup dry white wine
– 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, warmed
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
– 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Remove the stems and scrape out the gills from the portobello caps with a spoon.
3. Brush the caps all over with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
4. Season the caps evenly on both sides with the salt and black pepper.
5. Place the caps gill-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Roast the caps in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
7. While the mushrooms roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
8. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
9. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
10. Add the Arborio rice to the pot and toast, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until the edges look slightly translucent.

14. After the final cup of broth is added and absorbed, remove the pot from the heat. The rice should be tender with a slight bite (al dente) and the mixture should be creamy.
15. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped parsley until fully combined.
16. Remove the roasted portobello caps from the oven. Tip: Carefully pour out any liquid that has pooled in the caps to prevent a soggy filling.

18. Return the stuffed mushrooms to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
19. Remove from the oven and let rest for 3 minutes before serving. Tip: Letting them rest allows the flavors to settle and makes them easier to handle.
Portobello caps provide a savory, juicy base that soaks up the risotto’s creamy richness. Each bite delivers a punch of umami from the mushrooms and a sweet-tangy burst from the sun-dried tomatoes. Serve them on a bed of peppery arugula for a fresh contrast or alongside a simple green salad.
