💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Non-alcoholic wine offers similar flavor without alcohol.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds richness.

arborio rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: white rice

Brown rice is more nutritious, while white rice is more affordable.

Chop thyme, garlic, and shallots for aromatics.

Heat olive oil in a pan and add dried mushrooms, cooking until deeply golden brown.

Add chopped aromatics (thyme, garlic, shallots) to the pan and cook until soft.

Add arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat with oil.

Pour in white wine and let it reduce down.

Add hot stock to the pan, ensuring it is hot and not cold.

Continue adding stock gradually as it reduces, stirring constantly until the rice is just cooked through.

Return the cooked mushrooms to the pan, followed by parmesan cheese and butter.

Check for perfect consistency; risotto should flow slightly on the plate.

Top with additional parmesan cheese before serving.
