The recipe

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the broth in a saucepan and keep it warm over low heat.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, sauté the shallot and garlic until softened.

  4. 4

    Add the Arborio rice and stir for about 1–2 minutes until lightly toasted.

  5. 5

    Pour in the white wine and cook until mostly absorbed.

  6. 6

    Add the warm broth about ½ cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to absorb before adding more.

  7. 7

    Continue for about 18–20 minutes, until the rice is creamy and tender but still has a slight bite.

  8. 8

    Stir in the mushrooms, remaining butter, Parmesan, and fresh parsley. Season to taste and serve immediately.
