Ingredients for Creamy Mushroom Risotto

• 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or shiitake)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions for Preparation

1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm over low heat.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.
5. Pour in the white wine and simmer until it’s almost completely absorbed.
6. Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time. Stir frequently, allowing the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. This process should take about 18-20 minutes, until the rice is creamy and al dente.
7. Once the risotto is cooked, remove it from heat. Stir in the remaining butter and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

This Creamy Mushroom Risotto not only satisfies your taste buds but also warms the heart. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different types of mushrooms or add protein like grilled chicken or shrimp to tailor the dish to your preference. Enjoy!
