Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 large portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 12 ounces / 340 grams, chopped into 1 inch pieces)
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme (stems discarded)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 1/4 cups uncooked Arborio rice (240 grams)
  • 1/3 cup white wine (80 milliliters)
  • 4 1/4 cups hot vegetable broth (1 liter)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 ounce freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pan, drizzle the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until it is softened and translucent.
  3. Gently toss in the mushroom slices and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they darken and start to soften.
  4. Stir in the garlic and thyme, seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Cooking
  1. Once everything is fragrant, add the rice and toss for about 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted.
  2. Pour in the white wine and let it cook until absorbed.
  3. Then, add 1/2 cup of the hot vegetable broth and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until most of the broth has been absorbed.
  4. Repeat this process, adding another 1/2 cup of broth and stirring until absorbed, until the rice is tender, al dente, and the mixture is creamy.
  5. Finally, stir in the butter and remove the pan from heat.
  6. Add in the Parmesan cheese, tasting and seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately topped with extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Notes

Stir the risotto frequently to help release the starches from the rice, making it creamy. Use hot broth to keep the cooking process consistent. Feel free to add more veggies or herbs to enhance the flavor according to your taste.
