Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until foaming, about 1 minute.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 finely chopped shallots and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown.

  5. Step 5: Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and stir constantly until the wine is fully absorbed.
  6. Step 6: Begin adding 4 cups warm vegetable broth one ladle (about 1/2 cup) at a time, stirring frequently and waiting until broth is mostly absorbed before adding more; continue until rice is creamy and tender, about 18-20 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  8. Step 8: Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
