Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1, finely chopped
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Arborio rice
- 1 cup
- White wine
- 1/2 cup
- Vegetable broth
- 4 cups, warmed
- Mushrooms
- 8 ounces, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work well)
- Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, grated
- Salt
- to taste
- Pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the Arborio rice, coating it with the oil and cooking for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted and opaque.
- Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring frequently, until it is fully absorbed by the rice.
- Gradually add the warmed vegetable broth, about 1/2 cup at a time. Stir constantly, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. This process typically takes about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
- While the risotto is cooking, heat a separate pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the risotto is cooked, gently fold in the sautéed mushrooms, chopped rosemary, grated Parmesan cheese, and butter. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure all flavors meld together.
- Serve the mushroom and rosemary risotto hot, garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Tips
- For a creamier risotto, you can add a splash of heavy cream at the end.
- Feel free to experiment with different mushrooms like shiitake or oyster mushrooms for varied flavors.
- For a vegan option, substitute the butter with additional olive oil and use vegan Parmesan cheese.
