ROASTED GARLIC AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice the top off the head of garlic. Put it on a large square of aluminum foil and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the extra-virgin olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap the foil around and over the garlic. Roast until it is soft, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Pour the 2 cans of broth into a saucepan, over low heat, and add 3 cans of water. Bring to a simmer.
- In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until the mushrooms release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute to toast.
- Add 2 ladles full of hot broth to the pan and gently stir the rice. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Adjust the heat so that the pan is just gently bubbling. Continue adding broth and stirring until all the broth is used and the rice is cooked but not mushy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Once the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is nice and creamy, stir in the butter, Parmesan and the garlic pulp. Cover and let rest for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
- Reserve 3 cups for the round 2 recipe, Risotto Cakes.
- In a large bowl add the leftover risotto, eggs, corn, bread crumbs, and Parmesan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix to combine well. Form into 12 balls about the size of a walnut, then flatten into patties and arrange on a baking sheet.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the oil to a baking sheet lined with a brown bag or paper towels to drain the excess oil. Transfer to a serving tray and serve hot.
GARLIC MUSHROOM RISOTTO
Warm and comforting! I have used long grain rice in this also, just increased the liquid and cooking time, and also sometimes omit the cheese. The great thing about risotto is it's so adaptable!

GOURMET MUSHROOM RISOTTO
Authentic Italian-style risotto cooked the slow and painful way, but oh so worth it. Complements grilled meats and chicken dishes very well. Check the rice by biting into it. It should be slightly al dente (or resist slightly to the tooth but not be hard in the center).

TILAPIA SAUTEED WITH GARLIC AND MUSHROOMS
This is a quick recipe can be fixed in 30 min or less. It is bursting with flavor and love. I put this together in my own kitchen one day [like many other ideas] and this one inspired me to post. One thing i would like to add: Make sure that the tilapia fillets that u buy are no less than about half an inch thick to prevent the fish from falling apart. I hope you enjoy.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything important.
- Seasoning: Don't be afraid to season your food liberally. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it can handle bold flavors. Use a variety of herbs and spices to create a flavorful dish.
- Cooking the Tilapia: Cook the tilapia until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
- Making the Risotto: Risotto is a creamy, flavorful rice dish that is the perfect accompaniment to tilapia. To make risotto, you will need to use a special type of rice called arborio rice. Arborio rice is high in starch, which helps to create the creamy texture of risotto.
- Adding the Mushrooms: Mushrooms are a great addition to risotto. They add a savory, earthy flavor to the dish. You can use any type of mushroom you like, but cremini mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms are good choices.
- Finishing the Dish: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some grated Parmesan cheese and butter. This will help to create a rich, creamy sauce.
Conclusion:
Garlic Tilapia with Mushroom Risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia is flaky and flavorful, and the risotto is creamy and savory. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
