Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Arborio rice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 medium Shallots
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Button mushrooms
- 1 cup Cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 6 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat the vegetable broth in a medium saucepan over low heat and keep it warm during the cooking process.
Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, a pinch of salt, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden and tender. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the shallots for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir for about 2 minutes to lightly toast the grains.
Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.
Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each ladle of broth to be absorbed before adding the next. This process will take about 20-25 minutes.
When the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the cooked mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the risotto from heat and let it sit for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
