🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1.5 cups arborio rice
✓ 4 cups vegetable or mushroom broth, warm
✓ 12 oz mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster), sliced
✓ 1 medium onion, finely diced
✓ 4 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 0.5 cup dry white wine
✓ 0.5 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
✓ 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
✓ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
✓ 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
✓ 1 teaspoon truffle oil
✓ Salt and black pepper to taste
✓ Fresh parsley for garnish
✓ Nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons (optional protein boost)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté sliced mushrooms until golden (5-7 minutes), season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

2. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté diced onion until translucent (3 minutes), then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add arborio rice to the pan, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to lightly toast the grains and coat with fat. This activates the starches.

4. Pour in white wine and stir until absorbed (about 2 minutes). Begin adding warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently.

5. Continue adding broth gradually over 18-22 minutes, stirring often. Wait until each addition is mostly absorbed before adding the next. The rice should be creamy but al dente.

6. When rice is nearly cooked, fold in the reserved cooked mushrooms and fresh thyme. Stir in butter and grated cheese until fully incorporated.

7. Remove from heat and drizzle with truffle oil. Add nutritional yeast if using for extra protein and umami depth.

8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately in warm bowls, garnished with fresh parsley and additional cheese.
