Print Recipe

Indulge in the rich, earthy flavors of Italy with this creamy and comforting mushroom risotto, a perfect dish for a cozy evening.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or oyster), sliced
  • 1.5 cups Arborio rice
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine (like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 6 cups hot vegetable or chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the edges of the grains are translucent.
  4. Pour in the white wine and stir until it has completely evaporated, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Begin adding the hot broth, one ladleful (about 0.5 cup) at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until each addition of broth has been almost completely absorbed by the rice before adding the next. This process should take about 20-25 minutes. Continue until the rice is creamy and al dente (tender with a slight bite in the center).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the risotto is too thick, add a splash more hot broth.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

For an extra layer of gourmet flavor, consider finishing your mushroom risotto with a drizzle of truffle oil just before serving.
