2. Take 1.5 glass dried porcini mushrooms
3. Prepare 1 cup dry white wine
4. Make ready Butter
5. Prepare Grated Parmesan

It will add that much more mushroom flavor to the risotto! Coincidentally, the risotto we make is very similar to this recipe which makes a lovely risotto. We do basically the same but normally include some nutritional yeast, vegan cheese, and peas. The peas add some colour and additional texture as well as a bit of extra protein with the nutritional yeast and vegan cheese making it extra creamy.

Instructions to make Porcini risotto (with tips to make it Vegan):

1. Start by putting the porcini mushrooms in hot water for about 15 minutes at least. When they are ready pull them out of the water and pass through your fingers making sure that there are no dirt residues on them. Chop them into pieces
2. Make the broth by putting about 1l of water in a pan with 2 vegetable stock cubes and bring to boil. Once boiled reduced the heat to low
3. Take a large pan and add some butter let it melt and when it starts to foam add the mushrooms, cook on medium heat for a a few minutes and remove them from the pan. For vegan option skip the butter and use olive oil instead
4. Add a bit more butter and cook the onion chopped into thin pieces. Cook on slow heat and with a pinch of salt until golden. If the pan gets too hot and the onion starts to turn brown add a few tablespoons of broth to bring down the heat of the pan.
5. Add the rice and mix gently for a few minutes. The rice might start to stick slightly but that’s ok. When the rice goes from transparent to white and starts to stick to the pan add a drop of white wine. And mix well. Let evaporate and when it sticks add the remaining wine.
6. Now we start to add the stock a little bit at the time. You don’t need to wait until each ladle of stock has evaporated you just top it up when it starts to dry out. Continue to do this and mix in the rice gently for around 15 minutes. You will see the rice expand over the time
7. Now the rice should have about 5 minutes left, add the mushrooms back in and add small amount of stock at the time. When you try the rice and it feels done although still has a bite to it turn off the heat.
8. Add a couple of spoons of butter and a handful of grated Parmesan. Mix it together and cover for 2-3 minutes. This step is called ‘mantecatura’ and it’s what makes the creaminess of the risotto (not cream!). I have tried with fake ‘Parmesan’ made from coconut as a vegan option and it also works
9. Serve on a plate (not a bowl) and sprinkle with some parsley if you have it.

We do basically the same but normally include some nutritional yeast, vegan cheese, and peas. The peas add some colour and additional texture as well as a bit of extra protein with the nutritional yeast and vegan cheese making it extra creamy. Very yummy and easy to make :) #italian #vegetarian #risotto Laura. While the cubed squash is baking, melt vegan margarine on low in a large pot. It starts with fresh vegetables sautéed until just tender.

Learn How to Boost Your Mood with Food

For the most part, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and must be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be very healthy and good for you. There are several foods that actually can improve your moods when you consume them. When you feel a little down and are in need of an emotional boost, try some of these.

Eggs, you might be astonished to discover, are wonderful at battling depression. Just be sure that you do not throw away the yolk. The egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for lifting up your mood. This is because the B vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat an egg and be happy!

Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for elevating your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that tells your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin you have, the better you will feel. Nuts, along with elevating your mood, can be a superb source of protein.

Cold water fish are great for eating if you want to fight depression. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all rich in omega-3s and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you battle your depression.

It’s easy to drive away your bad mood when you eat grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are terrific at helping you have a happier mood. These foods can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. Feeling hungry can truly make you feel terrible! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard to digest. You digest these grains more quickly than other foods which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.

Green tea is really great for your mood. You were simply anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies show that this particular amino acid can basically induce brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while at the same calming the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not hard to get healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood too!
