Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms (a mix of cremini and shiitake), sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (warm)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown (approximately 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the Arborio rice until each grain is coated in oil (1-2 minutes).
- Pour in the white wine and stir until absorbed (about 3 minutes).
- Gradually add warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid is nearly absorbed before adding more (20-25 minutes total).
- Once the rice is al dente and creamy, remove from heat, stir in Parmesan cheese and butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
