arborio rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: white rice

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

Heat a saucepan with vegetable broth to keep warm.

In a separate sauté pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with a little olive oil over medium heat and add the assorted mushrooms, cooking slowly with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon and 1/2 of butter and add olive oil.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add arborio rice and toast for about 4-5 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine and stir until absorbed.

Begin adding hot vegetable broth, starting with 1/2 cup, stirring gently and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more.

Continue adding broth for about 20 minutes until rice is creamy and al dente, tasting to check doneness.

Once cooked, stir in some sautéed mushrooms, butter, and parmesan cheese.

Plate the risotto, garnishing with remaining mushrooms and fresh parsley.
