Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Arborio rice Essential for the creamy texture
  • 4 cups chicken stock Or vegetable stock for vegetarian version
  • 8 oz mushrooms Sliced, choose your favorite variety
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion Finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced
  • 0.5 cup white wine Optional
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 0.5 tsp salt To taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper Freshly ground, to taste
  • 2 tbsp Italian parsley Chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until onion is translucent.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned.
  • Stir in the Arborio rice, and cook for 1-2 minutes until well-coated.
  • Pour in the white wine and cook until mostly evaporated.
  • Add one cup of chicken stock, stir frequently until absorbed. Continue adding stock, one cup at a time, allowing it to be absorbed before adding more.
  • Once all the stock is absorbed and the rice is creamy and tender, remove from heat. Stir in butter and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with chopped Italian parsley before serving.

Notes

Risotto is best served immediately for the creamiest texture. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
