Mushroom Risotto Diet Recipe. The most classic of risottos, but in a diet version, giving more space to mushrooms which are naturally low in calories, while also giving the right space to carbohydrates.
For this risotto, I chose Carnaroli, which is one of the most commonly used products for preparing risottos, because it is characterized by a consistently “al dente” texture that it is able to maintain for a long time. This is why it is suitable not only for rice salads but also for risottos, both sea and land varieties.
Mushrooms, in general, are an excellent source of minerals, particularly phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and magnesium, and also contain lysine and tryptophan, B vitamins, and some antioxidant substances. Thanks to their characteristics, they help the cardiovascular system stay healthy.
