This one-pan spelt mushroom risotto delivers rich, creamy comfort with minimal cleanup. Using spelt instead of traditional Arborio rice adds a nutty depth while boosting fiber and nutrients.
The dish pairs tender sautéed mushrooms with garlic, onions, and a smooth stock base, all absorbed into the spelt for a creamy texture. It’s an easy, flavorful dinner that works for both weeknights and special occasions.
Cooking it all in one pan saves time and effort, making it a go-to for anyone who loves comforting, wholesome meals without complicated steps.
