Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Arborio rice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), chopped
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 4 cups Vegetable stock, warmed
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat the vegetable stock in a small saucepan over low heat and keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring frequently.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Mix in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and toast it for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the grains are slightly translucent around the edges.
Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.
Begin adding the warm vegetable stock one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and creamy.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the risotto is creamy and well-combined.
Season the risotto with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
