Enjoy!
Oh, we had wagyu steaks with our mushroom risotto. Not trying to steal any spotlight away from the risotto, but it was too good to not post. I married well.
Ingredients
Serves 6
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- a pinch or two of salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 cup arborio rice (also called risotto rice)
- 2 cups chopped mushrooms of your choice
- 4 cups hot chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
- 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 and their liquid, and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the lemon juice, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper.
- Add the wine and stir as the wine reduces (cook for about 5 minutes until the wine reduces).Turn the heat to medium-low and add the rice. Toss the rice in the onion mixture until it's coated and move it around the pan for about 1 minute.
- Stir in the mushrooms.
- Add the hot chicken stock (or vegetable stock) about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and waiting until the stock is absorbed by the rice until you add another 1/2 cup. Repeat the process above until all the stock has been added and absorbed by the rice and a creamy sauce has formed, stirring constantly throughout.
- Serve immediately with shaved Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped thyme or parsley.

Hi yixiao, many thanks for sharing the recipe. Just curious what chicken stock did you use - homemade/knorrs etc. Thank you!!
Store bought works! Either Swason or Campbell's. I'm sure homemade would be kickass - I didn't have the patience.
