Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Mushrooms and Peas

    Stir in the sliced mushrooms and peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Season with salt and black pepper.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cheese and Herbs

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the risotto warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
