🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1.5 cups arborio rice
✓ 1 lb mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster), sliced
✓ 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth, warmed
✓ 1 medium onion, finely diced
✓ 4 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 0.5 cup dry white wine
✓ 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

✓ Sea salt and black pepper to taste
✓ 2 tbsp fresh parsley for garnish
✓ Juice of 0.5 lemon

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms with salt and pepper, sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden and liquid evaporates. Remove and set aside, reserving 1 cup for garnish.

2. In the same pan, add butter and sauté diced onion for 3 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add arborio rice and stir constantly for 2 minutes to toast lightly, enhancing the nutty flavor profile.

4. Deglaze with white wine, stirring until absorbed. Begin adding warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is mostly absorbed before adding more (approximately 18-20 minutes total).

5. When rice is al dente and creamy (not mushy), stir in cooked mushrooms, fresh thyme, rosemary, and lemon juice.

6. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and remaining butter until risotto reaches creamy consistency.

7. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Divide among bowls and garnish with reserved sautéed mushrooms, fresh parsley, and a light drizzle of olive oil.
