A classic Italian risotto with Arborio rice, mixed wild mushrooms, white wine, Parmesan, and a creamy butter finish.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Prepare the vegetables as noted. Put the vegetable stock in a saucepan and keep it hot over low heat without boiling.
-
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil and 1 tbsp (15 gr) butter in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and ⅜ tsp (2 gr) salt, then cook until browned and their released liquid has evaporated.
-
Step 3
Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a clean plate. Reduce the pan to medium heat, then add the remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil, 1 tbsp (15 gr) butter, and the onion. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
-
Step 4
Add the garlic and cook over medium heat until fragrant.
-
Step 5
Add the Arborio rice and stir over medium heat until the grains are hot and lightly translucent around the edges.
-
Step 6
Pour in the white wine and stir until it is almost completely absorbed.
-
Step 7
Add the hot stock one ladleful at a time over medium heat, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be mostly absorbed before adding the next. Continue until all the stock is incorporated and the rice is tender with a slight bite.
-
Step 8
Stir the cooked mushrooms into the risotto and cook over medium heat until heated through.
-
Step 9
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 ½ tbsp (20 gr) butter, Parmesan, remaining ⅜ tsp salt, and black pepper until creamy and glossy.

Fold in the parsley and serve the risotto immediately.
