Instructions

  1. Step 1: Finely chop 1 small shallot and mince 2 garlic cloves. Slice 8 oz mushrooms into 1/4-inch pieces. Melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, then add shallot and garlic, cooking 2 minutes until softened but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice to saucepan, stirring constantly for 1 minute to coat grains. Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and cook, stirring, until fully absorbed (about 3 minutes).
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups vegetable broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly after each addition until broth is absorbed before adding more. Cook for 20-25 minutes total until rice is creamy and tender but still slightly firm.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 8 oz sliced mushrooms, 1 tsp fresh thyme, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook 2 more minutes, then off-heat, stir in 1/2 cup grated parmesan until melted. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
