Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat. Keep it warm while you prepare the risotto.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Cooking the Risotto

  1. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir frequently for about 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  2. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine, stirring continuously until the wine has mostly evaporated and the rice has absorbed the flavors.

  3. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

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

  4. 6

    Add Vegetables

    When the rice is almost done, stir in the sliced mushrooms, chopped spinach, and frozen peas. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Incorporate Cheese and Butter

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and butter until melted and creamy.

  2. 8

    Season to Taste

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
