Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat and keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the shiitake and cremini mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly browned.

  4. 4

    Toast the Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice, toasting it for about 2 minutes until it becomes slightly translucent.

  5. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cheese and Truffle Oil

    Once the risotto is cooked, remove it from heat. Stir in the grated Grana Padano cheese and white truffle oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Spoon the risotto into bowls, top with fresh arugula, and drizzle with additional truffle oil if desired. Serve immediately.
