Mushroom Risotto

Hey foodie fam! Today, I'm excited to share one of my favorite recipes: Mushroom Risotto. This dish is creamy, comforting, and bursting with earthy mushroom flavors – it's like a warm hug in a bowl!

This recipe is good for 4-6 sevings!

Ingredients​

• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1½ pounds mixed mushrooms, chopped
• ¾ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1½ cups uncooked Arborio rice, rinsed
• ⅔ cup dry white wine
• 5 cups warmed vegetable broth
• ½ cup grated pecorino or Parmesan cheese*, plus more for serving
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions​

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and several grinds of pepper and toss to coat. Cook, stirring only occasionally, for 8 minutes, or until soft and browned. Remove from the pan and set aside. Work in batches if necessary.
• Wipe out the pan and return it to the heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon sea salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and rice. Let cook for 1 minute, then add the wine. Stir and cook for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the wine cooks down.
• Add the broth ¾ cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding the next. With the final addition of broth, stir two-thirds of the sautéed mushrooms into the risotto. Cook until the risotto is creamy and the rice has a slight al dente bite. Stir in the cheese and season to taste.
• Top with the remaining sautéed mushrooms, garnish with parsley, and serve with more grated cheese, if desired.

Mushroom risotto is always a winner! Though, stirring in a splash of white wine while cooking the rice can enhance its complexity.
