Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

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

  3. 3

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

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

Cooking the Risotto

  1. 4

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat the rice with the oil and butter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the rice is slightly translucent around the edges.

  2. 5

    Add the Wine

    Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently.

  3. 6

    Add the Broth Gradually

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

  4. 7

    Stir in Mushrooms and Cheese

    Once the rice is cooked, fold in the sautéed mushrooms, the remaining butter, and the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
