🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 cups mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster), sliced
✓ 1.5 cups arborio rice
✓ 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth, warmed
✓ 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
✓ 3 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1/2 cup dry white wine

✓ 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
✓ Sea salt and black pepper to taste
✓ 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms with salt and pepper until golden (5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup for garnish.

2. In the same skillet, heat remaining olive oil and butter. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent (2 minutes), then add garlic and thyme, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add arborio rice and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes, toasting lightly to coat with oil.

4. Pour in white wine and stir until mostly absorbed (about 1 minute).

5. Add warm broth one ladle at a time (approximately 3/4 cup), stirring frequently. Wait until liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue for 18-20 minutes until rice is creamy yet al dente.

6. Fold in cooked mushrooms, spinach, and Parmesan cheese, stirring until spinach wilts (1-2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Divide risotto among four bowls. Garnish with reserved mushrooms, fresh parsley, and additional Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
