Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat to keep it warm.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the mushroom medley to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their moisture. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Toast the Rice

    Stir in the Acquerello rice and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors.

  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, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.

  6. 6

    Finish the Risotto

    Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese and white truffle oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the risotto and garnish with additional parmesan cheese, a drizzle of white truffle oil, and serve immediately.
