Ingredients
  

For the Risotto
  • 1 cup Arborio rice This short-grain rice absorbs liquid beautifully, creating that signature creamy texture.
  • 3-4 cups Chicken broth Use homemade or low-sodium for better flavor.
  • 2 cups Mushrooms Fresh or a mix of shiitake and cremini for earthy flavors.
  • 1 finely chopped Shallot Adds a sweet touch to the risotto.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Freshly minced for aroma and depth.
  • ½ cup White wine Adds acidity and complexity.
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated for a creamy finish.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil High-quality extra virgin for sautéing.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Gives the risotto a silky finish.
For the Garnish
  • ¼ cup Fresh parsley Chopped for garnish.
  • ¼ cup Extra Parmesan Sprinkle for indulgence.

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • ladle

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring them into the mixture. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until browned and moisture is released.
  3. Stir in the Arborio rice, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes to toast the rice grains.
  4. Pour in the white wine, stirring continuously until mostly absorbed, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gradually ladle in the warmed chicken broth, about one cup at a time, stirring until absorbed before adding more, for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Once the rice reaches desired doneness, remove from heat and stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese and butter.
  7. Ladle the risotto into bowls, sprinkle with chopped parsley and an extra dusting of Parmesan for garnish.
