- 2 tablespoon Olive oil divided
- 1 lb Mushrooms very finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- ¼ teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 Small yellow onion very finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
- ½ cup Dry white wine can use more chicken broth instead
- ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium pot. Add mushrooms, season with a little salt and pepper, and cook over medium high heat until mushrooms just start to soften. Add the chicken broth and thyme, bring to a gentle simmer.
As the broth is heating:
In a large pan, sweat onions in remaining olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and rice, stir well.
Add half of the wine, stirring until wine is almost completely absorbed by the rice. Repeat.
Add simmering stock, about ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly. As rice absorbs one ladle of stock, add another and continue stirring.
Once rice is almost cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in grated Parmesan, just until well incorporated and smooth.
Serve immediately
