Description

Mushroom Risotto is a classic Northern Italian dish made by slowly stirring arborio rice with broth until creamy, then blending it with sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Rich, earthy, and satisfying—it’s the perfect dish for fall or a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a large pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
    Add mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes until browned and their moisture evaporates.
    Remove and set aside.

  1. Start the Risotto Base

    In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté onions until translucent.
    Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in the arborio rice and toast for 1–2 minutes.

  1. Deglaze and Stir

    Pour in the white wine and stir until it’s mostly absorbed.
    Add a ladle of warm broth and stir continuously until absorbed.
    Repeat, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly for 18–20 minutes.

  1. Add Mushrooms and Finish

    Stir in the cooked mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.
    Add Parmesan cheese and stir until creamy. Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

  1. Plate and Garnish

    Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley.
    Enjoy immediately while creamy.
