For the risotto:

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup white wine

  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped

Instructions

1

Prepare the broth

In a saucepan, warm the vegetable broth over medium heat. Keep it simmering on low heat throughout the cooking process.

Deglaze with wine

Pour in white wine, cook until absorbed. Add broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed before adding more.

This recipe is amazing! The mushrooms add such a rich flavor. I substituted the Arborio with Carnaroli rice and it turned out perfectly. Will definitely make again!

Creamiest risotto I've ever made! The key was stirring constantly and adding the broth slowly. My family was impressed. Would love a variation with truffle oil!

Excellent recipe! I added some pancetta at the beginning for extra flavor. The mushrooms really make this dish. Will be making this for guests this weekend.
