Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add minced shallot and cook for 2 minutes until soft. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until golden and moisture evaporates.
Step 2: Stir in arborio rice and toast for 2 minutes, coating each grain. Deglaze with 1/2 cup white wine, stirring constantly until absorbed.
Step 3: Add hot vegetable broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until each addition is absorbed before adding more. Continue for 20-25 minutes until rice is creamy and al dente.
Step 4: Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp truffle oil, and remaining 2 tbsp butter until melted and glossy. Season with salt and pepper, then garnish with fresh parsley.
