Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Arborio rice
• 2 cups Cremini or button mushrooms
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 6 cups Vegetable stock
• 0.75 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients by finely dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, and slicing the mushrooms thinly. Measure out all other ingredients.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable stock in a medium saucepan over low heat, keeping it warm throughout the cooking process.

Step 3

In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the onions to the pan and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 5

Stir in the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat it in the oil and butter. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes until it becomes fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine has mostly evaporated, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Begin adding the warm vegetable stock one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until most of the liquid has been absorbed before adding the next ladleful. Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and creamy.

Step 9

Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat them through.

Step 10

Once the rice is cooked and the texture is creamy, stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 11

Remove the pan from heat, cover, and let the risotto sit for 2 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
