Instructions

Step 1: Finely chop 1/2 medium onion and 2 garlic cloves; slice 8 oz mushrooms into 1/4-inch pieces.
Step 2: In a large saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes until translucent, then add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until golden and moisture evaporates.
Step 3: Add 1 cup Arborio rice to the pan, stirring constantly for 1 minute until coated and slightly translucent. Pour in 1/2 cup white wine, stirring until fully absorbed (about 2 minutes).
Step 4: Add 4 cups chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly after each addition. Wait until broth is almost fully absorbed before adding more; this should take 20-25 minutes total.
Step 5: When rice is al dente (tender but firm), stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp fresh thyme until creamy and glossy. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
