Creamy Mushroom and Pea Risotto

We tried this recipe two times, but were left disappointed. The risotto was too sticky and did not have the texture of real risotto. It also missed flavour, adding more lemon didn't help. Even though it costs more time, I think bouillon should be added bit by bit, instead of adding it at once and dry cook the rice.

Normally we're a big fan of all the recipes, but this one isn't the one.

Thanks so much for trying the recipe and sharing the feedback, Naomi, we really appreciate it. Indeed, traditional risotto is usually made by gradually adding broth. This version was designed to be a bit quicker, and we're sorry that it missed the mark for you. We'll take this to heart as we continue to develop recipes, and in the meantime we’re so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the other recipes 💛✨

Done and yummy! We had this as a Sunday lunch and indeed loved the umami flavour of this dish. By the way, why did I discover the "make" button only now? Life altering. This app is so well made. Thank you, Pick Up Limes team !

We're so glad you loved it, Lenka, and are thrilled the "make" button is a game-changer for you! It's one of our favourite parts of the app 🥰 it's such an honour to cook together ✨

Plutôt déçue par cette recette. La recette n'a que très peu de goût et de parfum. En le temps de réalisation ne vaut pas le goût du plat, et puis comme ce n'est pas comme ça qu'on fait un risotto ça donne juste l'aspect d'un riz trop cuit plutôt qu'un riz tendrement crémeux. Je me tournerai vers d'autres recettes de riz qui sont excellentes sur cette application

Hey Marguerite, aw we're sad to hear this recipe missed the mark! Just in case it helps, the brand of bouillon cubes could be what's causing the lack in flavour, and it's the key flavour-maker here - they add a little extra oomph to the dish. Perhaps trying another brand could help? We hope you enjoy our other recipes more 🤗✨

This is so good. First time making it today, and it definitely won't be the last. Luxurious taste and texture.

Amazing recipe ! Added a little bit of truffle oil at the end to elevate the mushroomy flavour 😄

Thoroughly enjoyed this, will absolutely make again! So easy!

Lovely recipe 😊
Easy to make

This was the first time I’ve made risotto and the recipe was really easy to follow and it turned out so good!!

Just the best. Rich and deep flavours.

Delicious! And so easy. I made for lunches and added the cream and milk each day when I reheated it.

First meal I’ve tried on the app. It is so overwhelming looking at all these beautiful recipes, but I finally picked one. The whole family enjoyed it! Thank you for making these so accessible! It was the encouragement I needed to try and find another recipe on here. Froze the rest to enjoy later!

Hey there, Stephanie, gosh thanks for welcoming us into your kitchen and sharing the kind words. We're so glad that the risotto was enjoyed and are excited to continue this adventure together 🤗

Such a comforting, delicious recipe., which we will cook over and over. Thank you.

Delicious! Also works without the cooking cream, but feels less like a risotto.

Simple and creamy✨

This was so good that I made it twice over the weekend! Really fast to whip together, incredibly tasty and satisfying. This is going to be one of my new staple recipes for sure!

It's a shame we cannot share photos! This came out amazing and even my non-vegan husband loves it

As a flexitarian, this is the first time I use nutritional yeast in a recipe. Very tasty and the "parmesan" effect is very good!

Delightful

Excellent

The is was so delicious!! My husband loves it as well, I will definitely be making this again. I didn’t have soy cream so I used a little coconut milk and water to the desired consistency. Amazing

Very nice recipe, an easy dinner that kids lile as well. I used a bit more soy cream, but it was still OK.

Delicious!! Very very tasty, highly recommend

Yummy💚loved it

So easy and simple yet so delicious. Definitely recommend!

This dish is perfect in many ways. Super quick, delicious and suitable for a week night or even for friends coming over! Thank you!

Amazing and super easy. Despite not pouring the broth little by little as traditionally it came out super creamy.

Simpel recept met lekker resultaat! Nog wat extra tijm, knoflookpoeder, uienpoeder en chili toegevoegd naar eigen smaak 🥰 Verbaasd over de goede verhoudingen!

This is my new favourite comfort meal, loved that it’s only one pot and doesn’t require too much attention, it basically cooks itself! So good for a weekday dinner ☺️

So happy to hear, Ashley! Hope your studies go well 🤗

5/5

Can’t believe it’s taken me this long but this was the first risotto I’ve ever made. It was so surprisingly simple (thanks to all the helpful steps along the way) and oh my, was it delicious!! Incredible and will be adding this to the staple dishes for me and my partner. Thank you!
