Course: Entrées
Servings: 2 servings
Author: Rachel Jessee, partner, Mountain Mushrooms in Reno

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup oil or butter, ghee, or olive oil, divided
  • pounds mushrooms oyster mushrooms are recommended, but a mix of any varieties can work
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 onion minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or marjoram stems discarded, minced
  • cups Arborio rice uncooked
  • cup dry white wine
  • 5 cups broth bone/veggie/chicken/beef
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional
  • High quality olive oil for drizzle

Instructions

  • Heat half the oil in frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and ½ teaspoon salt; sauté for not more than 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In another large frying pan, sauté onions in remaining oil on medium heat until softened. Add garlic, herbs, rice, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt, stirring for 1 minute. Add wine, stirring until wine has almost evaporated. Stir in 1 cup of broth, and add mushroom and cheese at the same time. Continue to add remaining broth, 1 cup at a time, as previous broth is absorbed into the rice.
  • Stir frequently until rice is done to your liking and the mixture has reached the desired consistency, adding more water if needed. Garnish with more cheese, parsley, and a drizzle of top-shelf olive oil.
