Mushroom Risotto

What is it?

Arborio rice, mushrooms and a creamy sauce come together in a hot pot, with the grains cooked until soft but still distinct. It’s a vegetarian risotto from Pret A Manger, built for spooning rather than neat eating, and the mushroom flavour sits through the sauce as well as the rice. Compared with other items in Pret’s hot range, this one leans fully into comfort-food territory and skips the sandwich format altogether. Served ready to heat and eat, it’s closer to a café lunch than a grab-and-go snack, with the usual risotto texture that thickens as it cools.
