Instructions

Step 1: Finely chop 1 shallot and slice 8 oz mixed mushrooms into 1/4-inch pieces. Mince 1 tbsp parsley for garnish.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook for 2 minutes until translucent, then add mushrooms. Sauté for 6-7 minutes until mushrooms are golden and release their liquid.
Step 3: Add Arborio rice to the pan and stir for 1 minute until rice is coated and slightly translucent. Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until fully absorbed (about 2 minutes).
Step 4: Begin adding chicken stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously after each addition. Wait until liquid is absorbed before adding more. Continue until rice is tender and creamy (about 20 minutes total).
Step 5: Stir in remaining 1 tbsp butter, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes until rice is creamy and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1 tbsp parsley.
