Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Cooking the Risotto

  1. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add 1.5 cups of Arborio rice to the pan with the onions and garlic. Stir for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  2. 4

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

Cooking the Mushrooms

  1. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a separate pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Finishing the Risotto

  1. 6

    Combine and Finish

    Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the sautéed mushrooms, 0.5 cups of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of truffle oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Mushroom Risotto hot, with a side of your choice: house salad, Caesar salad, or soup.
