Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- to taste
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup, freshly grated
- Frozen peas
- 2 cups
- Vegetable broth
- 6 cups
- Mushrooms
- 2 cups, sliced
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Onion
- 1 large, finely chopped
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Arborio rice
- 1.5 cups
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan, cooking until the onion becomes translucent. This process usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate the sliced mushrooms and let them cook until they release their moisture and start to brown. This should take about 8 minutes.
- Add the Arborio rice to the pan, stirring to ensure all grains are coated with the oil and mixed well with the mushrooms. Let this cook for 2 minutes.
- Begin gradually adding the vegetable broth, roughly 1/2 cup at a time. Stir constantly, allowing each portion of liquid to be absorbed before adding more. This gradual addition process is key to achieving the classic creamy texture of risotto.
- Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente. This should take about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the frozen peas, letting them cook for an additional 2 minutes until they are heated through.
- Finally, remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with the finely chopped fresh parsley.
