- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 cups warm vegetable or chicken broth
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove mushrooms from skillet and set aside.
- Add Arborio rice to the skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden.
- Pour in white wine and cook, stirring, until it is almost completely absorbed.
- Begin adding the warm broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding the next.
- Continue adding broth and stirring for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.
- Stir in the cooked mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure your broth is warm before adding it to the rice. This helps maintain a consistent cooking temperature.
- Stirring constantly is key to developing the creamy texture of risotto.
- Don’t overcook the rice; it should be tender but still have a slight bite (al dente).
