Ingredients
Before we get our chef hats on, let’s gather the following superstars:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (your choice – any will do!)
- ½ cup white wine (optional, but who can say no to a little wine?)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, because we fancy)
Instructions
Time to don your apron and get cooking! Follow these steps carefully:
- In a medium pot, bring your broth to a simmer and keep it warm on the stove. This is important! Warm broth makes for better risotto!
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Throw in that minced garlic and give it a sizzle! We want flavor overload!
- Now, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they’re tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Wowza! The aroma will start to be irresistible.
- Stir in the Arborio rice and let it toast for a minute or two, just to get those grains all cozy in the flavors.
- If you’re using wine, now is the time to add it! Let it simmer, stirring continuously, until the wine is mostly absorbed. Cheers!
- Now, it’s the broth’s moment to shine! Add one ladle full of warm broth to the rice and stir continuously until it’s mostly absorbed. Repeat this process until the rice is creamy and al dente. This should take about 18-20 minutes.
- Finally, stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, because garnish is life!
There you have it – your very own Mushroom Risotto! Serve it up hot and dig in! Your family (and your taste buds) will thank you. Happy cooking!
