Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1½ cupsArborio rice
  • 1 lbmixed mushrooms, sliced
  • 2shallots, diced
  • 3garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cupdry white wine
  • 5 cupsvegetable broth, warm
  • ¾ cupParmesan, grated
  • 3 tbspbutter
  • 2 tbspolive oil
  • 3 sprigsfresh thyme
  • to tastesalt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1.Keep broth warm in a saucepan over low heat.
  2. 2.Sauté mushrooms in 1 tbsp butter and olive oil over high heat until browned and all liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Season and set aside.
  3. 3.In the same pan over medium heat, cook shallots until soft. Add garlic and thyme, cook 1 minute.
  4. 4.Add rice and stir to coat in fat, toasting for 2 minutes. Pour in wine and stir until absorbed.
  5. 5.Add warm broth one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and waiting for each addition to absorb before adding the next. This takes about 20 minutes.
  6. 6.When rice is al dente and creamy, remove from heat. Stir in remaining butter and Parmesan. Fold in mushrooms and serve immediately.

Notes

The stirring is non-negotiable — it coaxes the starch out of the rice for that silky, creamy texture.
