Ingredients

Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by slicing your fresh mushrooms and finely chopping your onion. Have your vegetable broth warmed and ready to go.

Sauté Onions and Garlic

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions, cooking until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Cook the Mushrooms

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, sautéing until they are soft and their moisture has evaporated.

Add Rice and Liquids

Stir in the arborio rice, allowing it to toast slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine, stirring until mostly absorbed. Gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is almost fully absorbed before adding the next.

Finish with Cheese and Serve

Once the rice is tender and creamy, remove from heat. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
