Risotto with St-Guillaume Fondue Mix and Mushrooms

Whether you cook it with or without mushrooms, this comforting three-cheese St-Guillaume risotto will quickly become your favorite! Why use the St-Guillaume Fondue Blend in this recipe? Why not?! The blend is made from a perfect combination of shredded aged cheddar, Emmental, and Swiss cheeses. These are three delicious lactose-free cheeses that melt beautifully and will add lots of flavour to your risotto. The traditional cheese fondue recipe is featured on the back of the St-Guillaume Fondue Blend package, as well as in our article Fondue for Two. But as you’ll see when you make this risotto recipe, our trio of shredded cheeses will work wonders in many recipes too!

Preparation
10 minutes

Cooking
30 minutes

Servings
4 to 6

  • 1.5 liters (6 cups) chicken broth
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) butter
  • 250 ml (1 cup) mushrooms, variety of choice (white, cremini, shiitake, or oyster)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 500 ml (2 cups) Arborio-style round rice
  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) white wine
  • 250 ml (1 cup) St-Guillaume Fondue Mix *

* For a creamier mixture or to make arancini, double the amount of cheese.

  • In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth and keep it warm over low heat.

  • In a skillet, heat half the butter and sauté the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and sauté the onion in the remaining butter. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat well.

  • Add the white wine and simmer while stirring until the liquid is almost completely absorbed.

  • Using a ladle, add about 250 ml (1 cup) of hot chicken broth to the rice and simmer while stirring. Gradually add the remaining broth as it is absorbed into the rice, stirring regularly.

  • When all the broth is absorbed, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the cooked mushrooms and the three-cheese mix. Stir until the cheese is melted.

  • Serve hot.
