Mushroom Risotto

A rich and creamy main dish that'll surely be a nice addition to your lunch or dinner menu.

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
Method
  1. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. Top with the remaining sautéed mushrooms, garnish with parsley, and serve with more grated cheese, if desired.
