Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound portobello mushrooms, chopped
- 1 shallot, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 cup arborio rice, uncooked
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese, more for garnish
Instructions
- Bring the vegetable broth to a simmer on the stove. Keep it warmed on the stove.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet, add the mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste. Saute the mushrooms until they are browned and tender. Remove the sauteed mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
- To the skillet add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the shallot and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the white wine to the pan and saute for another 2 minutes.
- Add the arborio rice to the pan along with the salt and pepper. Add ½ cup of the simmering broth to the skillet of rice, cook and stir constantly until the liquid is absorbed. This should take about 15- 20 minutes
- Repeat the process of adding ½ cup of broth to the rice and cooking until the liquid is absorbed twice more, the rice should be mostly tender, with a slight firmness. You may not use all the broth.
- Once the rice is finished cooking, stir in the mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Serve fresh with additional parmesan cheese for garnish and enjoy!
