Ingredients
  

  • Absolutely feel free to add ingredients like peas, spinach, or roasted garlic to customize your risotto according to your taste preferences.

Method
 

  1. Heat the chicken broth in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of extra-virgin olive oil and sauté the mushrooms until tender. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and sauté the shallots for about two minutes.
  4. Add the Arborio rice to the pot and toast it for three to four minutes until golden brown.
  5. Pour in a splash of dry white wine and let it evaporate.
  6. Gradually add the simmering chicken broth, about half a cup at a time, stirring constantly until the rice absorbs all the liquid. This process should take about 30 minutes.
  7. Once all the chicken broth has been added and absorbed, return the sautéed mushrooms to the pot.
  8. Stir in the unsalted butter and freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the risotto is creamy and well-combined.
  9. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve the risotto in individual dishes and garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
