Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Keep it warm while you prepare the risotto.
Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Cook the Rice
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the oil and vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.
Add Broth Gradually
Add a ladle of warm vegetable broth to the rice and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
Incorporate Mushrooms and Peas
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Season with salt and black pepper.
Finish with Cheese and Herbs
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve
Serve the risotto warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
