Out Of The Woods Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Broth

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

2. 2

   Sauté Shallots and Garlic

   In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Cook the Mushrooms

   Add the wild mushrooms to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened and starting to brown. Stir in the fresh thyme.

4. 4

   Add the Rice

   Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir well to coat the rice with the oil and flavors. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

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 until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

6. 6

   Finish with Cheese

   Once the rice is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme, if desired.
