Cooking Time
50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/3 C parmesan
  • 4 Tbsp butter (unsalted)
  • 3 Tbsp chives
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 C dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 C arborio rice
  • 2 shallots diced
  • 1/2 lb white mushrooms
  • 1 lb portobello mushrooms
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 6 C chicken broth

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, warm the broth over low heat.
  2. Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms with their liquid, and set aside.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 minutes. When the rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
