mushroom risotto

Indulge in the creamy comfort of this Mushroom Risotto. This classic Italian dish features Arborio rice cooked to perfection with savory mushrooms and a touch of Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4-5 cups hot vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until softened and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add Arborio rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour in white wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed.
  4. Add 1 cup of hot vegetable broth to the rice, stirring constantly until absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is creamy and al dente.
  5. Stir in cooked mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a combination of different mushroom varieties. Serve immediately for the best texture.
