Prep Time15 minsCook Time35 minsTotal Time50 mins
 1.50 cups Arborio rice
 1 l chicken or vegetable stock, kept warm
 1 cup mixed wild mushrooms (such as chanterelles, morels, and porcini), cleaned and sliced
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 1 small onion, finely chopped
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 ½ dry white wine
 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
 ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
 1 tablespoon truffle oil
 Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
 Fresh truffle shavings for garnish
 Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
1

Prepare the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2

Cook the Risotto: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes.

3

Toast the Rice: Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan, stirring constantly, until the edges of the grains start to become translucent, about 2 minutes.

4

Deglaze: Pour in the white wine and stir until it is fully absorbed by the rice.

5

Add the Stock: Begin adding the warm stock, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is almost completely absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

6

Mix in the Mushrooms: Add the cooked mushrooms to the risotto, stirring gently to combine.

7

Final Touches: Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese, and truffle oil. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

8

Serve: Spoon the risotto into bowls. Garnish with fresh truffle shavings and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
