Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 4 cups vegetable broth in a saucepan over low heat and keep warm.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced wild mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender and browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 finely chopped shallots and 1 tsp fresh thyme to the mushrooms, cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 cup Arborio rice and toast for 1-2 minutes until the grains are translucent around the edges.
  5. Step 5: Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and cook, stirring continuously, until the wine is mostly absorbed.
  6. Step 6: Add warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the liquid to absorb before adding more, for about 18-20 minutes until rice is creamy and al dente.
  7. Step 7: Remove from heat and stir in 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tbsp pure maple syrup. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  8. Step 8: Let sit for 2 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
