Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups (355g) Arborio rice
• 1 cup (60g) dried wild mushrooms
• 3 cups (710 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (28g) butter
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 cup white wine
• ½ cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Soak the dried wild mushrooms: Place the dried wild mushrooms in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for 20-30 minutes until they are softened. Once they are softened, drain them and keep the soaking liquid.
2. Heat the oil and butter: In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted.
3. Cook the shallot and garlic: Add the shallot and garlic to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are softened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Add the Arborio rice: Add the Arborio rice to the pot and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the rice is coated in the oil and butter mixture.
5. Add the white wine: Pour in the white wine and cook until it has been absorbed by the rice, stirring occasionally.
6. Add the soaked mushrooms and reserved liquid: Add the soaked mushrooms and 1 cup of the reserved soaking liquid to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
7. Add the broth: Add the remaining 2 cups of broth, ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
8. Add the Parmesan cheese and seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. The cheese should melt and combine with the rice.
9. Garnish and serve: Once the risotto is cooked and seasoned to your liking, garnish it with some chopped fresh parsley and serve it immediately while it’s still warm.
