  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Β½ cups Arborio rice
  • 6 cups vegetable broth, warm
  • 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms (such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Β½ cup dry white wine
  • ΒΌ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add the Arborio rice to the pot and stir continuously for about 2 minutes. Add the sliced wild mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Let the wine reduce by half, then gradually add warm vegetable broth one cup at a time, stirring continuously for about 20-25 minutes.
  4. Once the risotto reaches the desired consistency, remove from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with more Parmesan and parsley.

Notes

  • Use warm vegetable broth to maintain a consistent cooking temperature.
  • Stir the risotto frequently to release starches and create a creamy texture.
  • Don’t rinse the Arborio rice; the starch is essential for creaminess.
  • Adjust broth for your preferred consistency.
  • For rich flavor, use homemade vegetable broth.
