6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 cups sliced mixed fresh mushrooms
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup finely minced onion or shallot
  • 1½ cups Arborio rice
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan plus more for serving
  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • In a sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and cook mushrooms over high heat for 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, warm broth over medium-high heat. When broth comes to a simmer, reduce heat to very low and cover to keep warm.
  • While broth is warming, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a heavy 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they begin to soften, being careful not to let them brown. Using a wooden spoon, stir rice into onions and mix well. Continue stirring for 1 minute, making sure all the grains are well coated. Add wine and stir until completely absorbed.
  • Add half cup broth, stirring frequently until almost completely absorbed. Continue cooking rice, stirring in broth half cup at a time, allowing each addition to be almost completely absorbed before adding the next, until rice is tender but still firm, about 18 minutes total.
  • Turn off the heat. Immediately add the cheese, mushrooms, peas, and parsley, and mix well. Spoon risotto into a large serving bowl, top with additional cheese and serve immediately.
