🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
✓ 1 medium onion, finely diced
✓ 4 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1.5 cups Arborio rice
✓ 1 cup dry white wine
✓ 4 cups vegetable or mushroom broth, kept warm
✓ 12 oz mixed mushrooms (cremini, oyster, shiitake), sliced
✓ 2 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
✓ 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
✓ 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
✓ Sea salt and black pepper to taste
✓ 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
✓ 1/2 tsp nutmeg

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp 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.

2. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent (3 minutes). Add garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add Arborio rice to the pot, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to toast the grains and enhance their nutty flavor.

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

5. Begin adding warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is absorbed before adding the next (approximately 18-20 minutes total). The rice should gradually become creamy.

6. After 15 minutes, fold in the sautéed mushrooms and balsamic vinegar. Continue stirring and adding broth until rice is al dente with a creamy consistency.

7. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and nutmeg. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

8. Divide among four bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
