Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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
