Few dishes feel as comforting and elegant as a well-made risotto. This extra creamy mushroom and leek risotto combines earthy mushrooms, sweet caramelized leeks, and arborio rice into a dish that’s rich yet balanced, perfect for slow evenings and simple ingredients cooked with care.

In this recipe video, we guide you through how to make the creamiest Mushroom & Leek Risotto ever with easy to follow step-by-step instructions!

This is a Northern-Italian classic recipe, and uses plenty of fresh ingredient combined with Arborio rice and stock to give a rich, creamy texture to the rice that’s indulgent and loaded with flavor. Of course, top this dish with lots of parmesan cheese and you’re in heaven. Pure comfort food at its finest!

We suggest taking your time with this recipe: Allow the leeks and onions to caramelize for extra flavor. The ariborio rice also can’t be rushed, and will generally take around 30 minutes to fully absorb the stock and become thick and creamy.
