Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 minced shallot and cook for 2 minutes until softened but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 cups Arborio rice and stir constantly for 2 minutes until rice is translucent around the edges.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and cook, stirring, until fully absorbed (about 3 minutes). Begin adding 4 cups vegetable broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently until each addition is absorbed before adding more (about 20 minutes total).
  4. Step 4: When rice is creamy and al dente (about 18 minutes), stir in 1.5 cups chopped mushrooms and cook for 3 more minutes until mushrooms are tender. Remove from heat.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp chopped thyme, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Finish with 1 tsp truffle oil and serve immediately.
