Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add Arborio rice to the pan and stir for 2 minutes until lightly toasted, then pour in white wine and simmer until fully absorbed.
  3. Step 3: Begin adding hot vegetable broth one ladle at a time (about 1/2 cup per addition), stirring constantly until each portion is absorbed before adding more. Continue for 20-25 minutes until rice is creamy and al dente.
  4. Step 4: While rice cooks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden and tender, then stir in half the parsley.
  5. Step 5: Once rice is cooked, remove from heat. Stir in melted butter, grated Parmesan, cooked mushrooms, and remaining parsley. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
