Ingredients

• 200 grams Boneless pork chops
• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 200 grams Button mushrooms
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 4 cups Chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the chicken stock in a small saucepan over low heat, keeping it warm but not boiling.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic, dice the onion, thinly slice the mushrooms, and cut the pork chops into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the pork pieces with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat slightly and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté the garlic and onions until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until they release their juices and become tender, about 5 minutes. Remove half of the sautéed mushrooms and set aside for garnish.

Step 6

Stir the Arborio rice into the skillet and toast for 2 minutes, ensuring each grain is coated in the oil and juices.

Step 7

Pour in the white wine, stirring constantly until fully absorbed.

Step 8

Begin adding the warm chicken stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next ladleful. Repeat this process until the rice is creamy and cooked al dente, about 20-25 minutes.

Step 9

Halfway through the stock-adding process, return the seared pork pieces to the skillet to cook through.

Step 10

Once the risotto is cooked, remove it from heat and stir in the butter, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Serve the risotto in bowls, garnished with the reserved sautéed mushrooms and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan.
