Ingredients you’ll need:
Gather these goodies before you start cooking:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (baby bella or any fave)
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional, but it’s right)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Let’s get it cookin’:
Alright, now let’s break it down step by step:
- First, in a pot, heat up your broth and keep it warm. You want this broth cozy, not boiling, just simmerin’.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Toss in the onions and let them cook until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the garlic and mushrooms. Cook it all together until the mushrooms are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Next, stir in the Arborio rice and let it toast for a minute. You want it to soak up all that flavor.
- If you’re using wine, pour it in now and let it simmer until it’s mostly absorbed by the rice.
- Now, here’s the key: ladle in your warm broth, one cup at a time. Stir it gently, and let the rice absorb the liquid before adding more. This is what makes it creamy, y’all! Repeat this process for about 20 minutes, until the rice is al dente and creamy.
- Finally, remove it from heat and stir in the remaining butter and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and that fresh parsley on top for some added vibe.
- Serve it warm and watch everyone dive in. Trust me, they won’t be able to resist!
And there you have it! A simple yet elegant dish that will bring all the good vibes to your table. Enjoy your Easy Mushroom Risotto, and happy cooking!
