Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat until it is simmering. Keep it warm on low heat while you prepare the risotto.

  2. 2

    Sauté the mushrooms

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned and tender. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the onions and garlic

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Cooking the Risotto

  1. 4

    Add the rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice to the skillet, mixing it with the onions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.

  2. 5

    Deglaze with wine

    Pour in the white wine and stir constantly until the wine is mostly absorbed by the rice.

  3. 6

    Add broth gradually

    Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the broth is mostly absorbed before adding more. This process should take about 18-20 minutes.

  4. 7

    Incorporate mushrooms

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the sautéed mushrooms, remaining butter, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Finishing Touch

  1. 8

    Serve

    Garnish the risotto with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy texture and rich mushroom flavor.
