Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Finely chop 8 oz mushrooms and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Mince 2 garlic cloves. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat until melted.
  2. Step 2: Add mushrooms and onion, sauté for 5 minutes until mushrooms release liquid and onions soften. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1.5 cups arborio rice and cook for 2 minutes, coating rice in butter and vegetables. Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and simmer until liquid evaporates, stirring constantly.
  4. Step 4: Add 4 cups vegetable broth, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, until rice is tender and creamy (about 20-25 minutes total).
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tbsp sherry vinegar, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter and stir until melted.
  6. Step 6: Taste and adjust seasoning. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
