Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 4 cups vegetable broth in a saucepan over medium-low until simmering, then keep warm on low.
  2. Step 2: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped shallot and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent, then add 8 oz sliced mushrooms. Cook 5 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and turn golden.
  3. Step 3: Add 1.5 cups arborio rice, stirring to coat grains. Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed (about 2 minutes). Begin adding warm broth, 1 ladle at a time, stirring until absorbed before adding more (18-20 minutes total).
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, 1 tsp truffle oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat and let rest 2 minutes until creamy and coats the back of a spoon.
