Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and finely minced
  • ½ medium onion finely chopped
  • 12 oz mixed wild mushrooms
  • 4 oz white mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary stems removed, leaves very finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, heat chicken or vegetable broth until hot. Keep warm over medium heat.
  • Add olive oil, one tablespoon butter, and garlic to a cold saucepan. Turn heat to medium and sauté for approximately one minute, or until garlic becomes softened.
  • Add onion and sauté for 2 minutes before adding the sliced mushrooms. Cook mushrooms until they soften and release liquid, approximately 4 or 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
  • Return pan to the heat and add remaining butter.
  • Add Arborio rice and sauté for 1-2 minutes until thoroughly coated.
  • Add white wine and stir constantly until the wine is completely absorbed.
  • Add a ladleful of the warm broth to the pan and stir constantly until it is completely absorbed.
  • Continue to add the broth a ladleful at a time, stirring as before until all of the broth has been incorporated and the rice has a rich, creamy consistency. This should take around 25-30 minutes. (If you want a creamier texture, add more broth until you achieve the results you desire).
  • Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the Parmesan and rosemary.
  • Add the mushroom mixture to the pan and stir thoroughly until combined.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with additional fresh rosemary, if desired. Serve immediately.
