Instructions

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, warm 4 cups chicken stock over low heat. In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and 1 finely minced shallot, cooking for 5 minutes until mushrooms release liquid and shallot softens.
Step 2: Add 1 cup arborio rice to the skillet, stirring constantly for 1 minute to coat grains. Pour in 1/2 cup white wine, stirring until fully absorbed (about 2 minutes), then add 1/2 tsp sea salt.
Step 3: Begin adding warm stock, one ladle at a time (1/2 cup per addition), stirring constantly until each portion is absorbed before adding the next. Continue for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender but still slightly firm (al dente). Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley until creamy, adjusting consistency with a splash of reserved stock if needed.
