🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 cups arborio rice
  • 4 cups mushroom broth (or low-sodium vegetable broth)
  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster), sliced
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter (unsalted)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp truffle oil
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Pinch of nutmeg

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms until golden (6-8 minutes), season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside, reserving for garnish.
2. Warm broth in a separate saucepan and keep at a gentle simmer throughout cooking.
3. In the risotto pan, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until translucent (3 minutes), add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add arborio rice, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to toast the grains and coat with oil.
5. Deglaze with white wine, stirring until almost completely absorbed (2-3 minutes).
6. Begin adding warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is mostly absorbed before adding the next (approximately 18-20 minutes total).
7. After 18 minutes, taste rice for doneness—it should be creamy with a slight bite in the center.
8. Remove from heat, stir in butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, thyme, and nutmeg until creamy and well combined.
9. Plate risotto, top with reserved mushrooms, drizzle with truffle oil, and garnish with fresh parsley.
10. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
