Mushroom Risotto is a rich and creamy gourmet side dish that is so easy to prepare!
Ingredients :
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces mushrooms any variety, thinly sliced
¼ cup diced onion
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup arborio rice
½ cup white wine or extra broth
3 cups chicken broth or mushroom broth, divided
⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Directions :
Warm the broth in the microwave or bring to a low simmer in a saucepan.
Add olive oil and mushrooms to a pan over medium-high heat. Cook until mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Add butter and onions to a saucepan, cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in rice and cook until rice starts to lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
Add wine and cook until evaporated while stirring. Add warmed broth ½ cup at a time stirring until evaporated after each addition. This will take about 20 minutes.
Stir in mushrooms with any juices, parmesan cheese (reserve a couple of tablespoons for garnish) and parsley. Taste and add salt & pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh herbs as desired.
