Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are browned and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.

Cooking the Risotto

  1. 4

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the oil and butter. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.

  2. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladleful 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.

  3. 6

    Finish the Risotto

    Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Risotto

    Serve the risotto hot, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
