Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, warmed
- 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced baby bella mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and softened.
Step 5
Stir in the Arborio rice, ensuring each grain is coated in the buttery mixture. Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 6
Begin adding the warmed chicken or vegetable broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the liquid to be absorbed before adding the next cup of broth.
Step 7
Continue this process until the rice is al dente and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 8
Once the risotto reaches the desired consistency, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Remove from heat and let rest for a minute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
