Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 diced onions and cook for 12-15 minutes until deeply golden and caramelized, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Step 2: Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook for 5 more minutes until mushrooms release moisture and become tender.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1.5 cups Arborio rice, coating each grain with the onion mixture. Cook for 1 minute until rice is slightly translucent.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and simmer until fully absorbed. Add 1 cup warm chicken stock, stirring constantly until absorbed before adding more stock.
  5. Step 5: Continue adding stock 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently, until rice is creamy and al dente after 20-25 minutes total cooking time.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tbsp butter and 1/2 cup grated parmesan until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
