Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Warm your broth in a small pot and keep it warm on low.
- In a wide pan, heat olive oil and butter. Add mushrooms and let them brown before moving them. Once golden, scoop them out.
- In the same pan, add more butter if needed. Cook onion or shallot until soft, then add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Cooking
- Stir in the Arborio rice and let it toast for about a minute until glossy.
- If using wine, pour it in and stir until it mostly cooks off.
- Add warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring often. Let the rice absorb most of the liquid before adding more.
- After about 18 to 22 minutes, taste the rice to ensure it's tender but with a slight bite.
- Stir the mushrooms back in. Turn the heat down low and mix in Parmesan and a small knob of butter.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper. Finish with parsley for freshness.
Notes
Grate Parmesan yourself for the best melting. If risotto thickens too much, splash in more warm broth.
