Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large saucepan, heat 3 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 finely chopped shallots and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  2. Step 2: Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they release moisture and start to brown.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 1/2 cups arborio rice, cooking for 2 minutes to toast the grains and coat them in oil.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1 cup dry red wine, stirring constantly until the wine is mostly absorbed.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add 5 cups warm chicken broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and waiting until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding more. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until rice is creamy and tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until melted and creamy.
  7. Step 7: Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
