Ingredients
- Salt and pepper
- to taste
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped, plus extra for garnish
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, grated, plus extra for garnish
- Vegetable broth
- 6 cups
- Mushrooms
- 2 cups, sliced

- Arborio rice
- 1 1/2 cups
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced

Instructions
- In a large pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, around 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Arborio rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the butter and oil mixture. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Pour in the white wine, stirring continuously until the rice has absorbed it.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until they soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the hot vegetable broth, about 1/2 cup at a time. Stir constantly and allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. This process should take about 20 minutes.
- Once the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the risotto rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve your Risotto aux Champignons hot, garnished with an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Enjoy!
