Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 pounds mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 2 shallots diced
  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons green onions chopped
  • cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the broth in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often for about 3 minutes or until soft. Transfer the mushrooms and their juices to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the saucepan. Stir in the shallots and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring often for about 2 minutes until the rice is coated with oil and is a pale, golden color.
  • Pour in the wine, stirring constantly, until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup of the warm broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding the broth, 1/2 cup at a time and stirring constantly for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender and cooked al dente.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the reserved mushrooms and their juices along with the butter, chives, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
