Instructions

  1. Step 1: Finely chop 8 oz mushrooms and 1 minced shallot (2 oz). Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallot, cooking for 8-10 minutes until mushrooms are golden brown and liquid evaporates.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice to the pan, stirring to coat with oil. Cook for 2 minutes until rice is slightly translucent. Deglaze with 1/2 cup white wine, stirring constantly until absorbed (about 2 minutes).
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups chicken stock, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Stir rice every 2 minutes, adding more stock as it absorbs (about 20-25 minutes total).
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 tsp fresh thyme and 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Once rice is tender but still slightly firm (al dente), remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
