Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Step 2: Add 200 g sliced white button mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until they release moisture and start to brown.
Step 3: Stir in 1 cup Arborio rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly until rice is lightly toasted.
Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and cook, stirring, until the wine is mostly absorbed.
Step 5: Begin adding the warm vegetable broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and waiting until most liquid is absorbed before adding more, for about 18-20 minutes until rice is creamy and al dente.
Step 6: Stir in 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7: Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
