Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the rice and stir to coat in the butter mixture, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the white wine and cook until it has been absorbed by the rice.
  5. Begin adding the broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly and waiting until each cup is absorbed before adding the next.
  6. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, sauté the mushrooms until golden brown.
  7. Once all the broth has been absorbed and the rice is creamy and tender, stir in the sautéed mushrooms and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
