Ingredients

  • 2 cups mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon thyme

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan or dutch oven pot. Add the sliced mushrooms, diced onion and thyme. Sauté until tender. Add a pinch of salt.
  • In another medium sized-pot, warm up the chicken or vegetable broth.
  • Add the Arborio rice to the pan with the mushrooms and onions. Let the rice cook in the dry pan for about 2 minutes, until the rice is slightly translucent.
  • Add the wine and let it cook down, about 2 minutes.
  • Add a ladle of broth (about ½ cup) to the rice and stir. Let the broth cook down and soak into the rice, then add another ladle and stir. Continue this process until the rice is tender.
  • When the risotto is almost ready, stir in the grated parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure you only add a ladle of broth at a time to the risotto as it cooks. Adding too much at a time will cause mushy rice!
