How To Make mushroom risotto

  • 1
    In a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown, stirring a couple of times. Remove from the heat.
  • 2
    Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add the Arborio rice and cook just until it starts to lightly brown, stirring constantly; 3-4 minutes.
  • 3
    Add the wine and cook until evaporated, stirring constantly.
  • 4
    Add the warmed chicken broth about 1/3 to 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and cooking until the liquid is evaporated after each addition of broth; this steps takes between 20-25 minutes.
  • 5
    Do not cook the last addition of broth all the way as you want it creamy. Stir in the cooked mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and, if desired, freshly chopped parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
