Instructions

  1. Step 1: Finely chop shallot and thinly slice mushrooms. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, adding shallot and mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms release liquid and brown (8-10 minutes).
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 cups Arborio rice to saucepan, stirring constantly for 1 minute until grains are coated and translucent.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup white wine, stirring until fully absorbed (2-3 minutes).
  4. Step 4: Begin adding hot chicken stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding more (18-20 minutes total).
  5. Step 5: When rice is tender but still firm (al dente), stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan until creamy and glossy.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  7. Step 7: Adjust consistency with additional stock if needed. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on top.

Can I substitute ingredients in Bull Market Mushroom Risotto?

How do I scale Bull Market Mushroom Risotto for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
