Ingredients
- Arborio Rice: 1 cup, rinsed
- Mushrooms: 2 cups, sliced (preferably a mix of cremini and shiitake)
- Vegetable Broth: 4 cups, heated
- White Wine: 1/2 cup, dry
- Shallots: 1 medium, finely chopped
- Garlic: 1 head, roasted
- Sage: 1/4 cup, fresh, chopped
- Parmesan Cheese: 1/2 cup, grated
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
- Butter: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: to taste
- Pepper: to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are browned and tender.
- Add the Arborio rice and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until mostly absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.
- Begin adding the heated vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition to be absorbed before adding the next, about 18-20 minutes total.
