Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice (300 grams)
  • 10 oz mixed mushrooms, sliced (cremini, shiitake, oyster)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup dry white wine (120 ml), optional
  • 5 cups vegetable or chicken broth (1.2 liters), kept warm
  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (75 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped, optional
  • 1 teaspoon truffle oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Warm the broth in a saucepan over low heat for about 10 minutes to keep it hot but not boiling.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until golden and tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook chopped onion over medium heat until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add Arborio rice to the skillet and stir well, coating each grain with butter and toasting for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in ½ cup dry white wine and stir continuously until almost fully absorbed, about 2 to 3 minutes. If skipping wine, start adding broth now.
  6. Add warm broth gradually, one ladle (about ½ cup) at a time, stirring frequently and waiting until liquid is absorbed before adding more. Continue for 20 to 25 minutes until rice is creamy and tender but still slightly firm.
  7. Stir cooked mushrooms and chopped thyme back into the rice. Remove from heat and mix in grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of truffle oil over the risotto just before serving.

Notes

Keep broth warm to ensure even cooking. Stir gently to avoid breaking rice grains. Truffle oil is potent; add just before serving. Use gluten-free broth for gluten-free version. For vegan, substitute butter with olive oil and Parmesan with nutritional yeast or vegan cheese.
