🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
✓ 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
✓ 4 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 12 ounces mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster), sliced
✓ 1.5 cups arborio rice
✓ 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or mushroom broth, warmed
✓ 0.5 cup dry white wine
✓ 0.5 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
✓ 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
✓ 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
✓ Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
✓ 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional, adds B vitamins)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms until golden (5-6 minutes), season with salt and pepper, then remove and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and sauté diced onion until translucent (3 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add arborio rice to the skillet and toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to coat with oil.

4. Pour in white wine and stir until mostly absorbed (about 2 minutes).

5. Begin adding warm broth one ladle at a time (approximately 0.75 cup), stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is mostly absorbed before adding the next (total cooking time: 18-20 minutes).

6. Taste rice after 18 minutes; it should be creamy yet have a slight firmness to the bite. Add remaining broth if needed.

7. Remove from heat and fold in the reserved sautéed mushrooms, Pecorino Romano, thyme, and nutritional yeast. Stir gently for 1 minute to combine.

8. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately in warm bowls.
