Description
A creamy and comforting risotto with mixed mushrooms, slowly cooked to perfection with warm broth and finished with parmesan and butter for a silky, restaurant-style texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
- 5 cups vegetable broth, warm
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Warm the vegetable broth in a saucepan over low heat and keep it gently simmering.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant.
- Add the sliced cremini, shiitake, and button mushrooms. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until tender and lightly golden.
- Stir in the Arborio rice and toast for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges become slightly translucent.
- Add one ladle of warm broth and stir until absorbed. Continue adding broth gradually, stirring often, for about 18 to 20 minutes until the rice is creamy and just tender.
- Remove from heat. Stir in butter and grated parmesan until melted and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Spoon into serving bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use warm broth only to maintain a steady cooking temperature.
- Stir frequently but gently to release starch without breaking the rice.
- Serve immediately for the creamiest texture.
- Add a splash of warm broth when reheating to loosen the consistency.
