Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Arborio rice
• 2 cups Mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 whole Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 5 cups Vegetable stock
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 0.75 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable stock in a medium saucepan over low heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.

Step 2

Clean and slice the mixed mushrooms. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until softened and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and are lightly browned. Remove half of the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside for garnish.

Step 5

Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted and coated in the butter and oil.

Step 6

Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until the wine is mostly absorbed by the rice.

Step 7

Begin adding the warm vegetable stock, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently to ensure it is absorbed before adding the next ladle. Repeat this process for about 20 minutes, until the rice is creamy and tender but still al dente.

Step 8

Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the chopped parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve the risotto in bowls or on plates, and top with the reserved mushrooms and the remaining parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your 'Risotto Aux Champignons' with a glass of white wine if desired.
