Instructions
1
Warm Broth with Mushrooms
Start by warming the chicken broth in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once it’s simmering, whisk in the mushroom powder, then cover and turn the heat down low to keep it warm while you make the risotto.
2
Saut Shallot and Rice
In another big pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring often, until it’s soft but hasn’t browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Toss in the rice and bay leaf, stirring to coat the grains evenly. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the rice smells nutty and looks a bit translucent, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the wine along with 1/4 cup of the warm broth, stirring constantly until the liquid is fully absorbed.
3
Gradually Add Broth
Now, add the chicken broth a half cup at a time, stirring almost nonstop. Only add more broth once the previous amount has been soaked up. Keep this up until the rice is tender but still a little firm to the bite, which usually takes around 20 to 25 minutes.
4
Saut Mushrooms
While the risotto is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add your mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they’ve released their juices and the liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes.
5
Fold mushrooms into risotto
Once the mushrooms are ready, fold them gently into the risotto. Stir in the Parmesan and butter, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pot and let everything sit for a minute or two to melt the cheese and bring the flavors together.
6
Garnish and Serve
Serve with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if you like. Enjoy!
