Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Finely chop 1 medium shallot and finely chop 1.5 cups wild mushrooms. Heat 2 tbsp water in a saucepan, then sauté shallot over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until translucent.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup Arborio rice to the shallot mixture and stir for 1 minute until grains are slightly translucent. Deglaze with 1/2 cup white wine, stirring constantly until evaporated.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups vegetable broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly after each addition. Wait until liquid is absorbed before adding more, cooking for 18-20 minutes until rice is al dente and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1.5 cups chopped mushrooms and cook for 3 more minutes until mushrooms are tender and juicy.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, stir in 1 tsp truffle oil until fragrant, and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
