Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup shallots minced (about 4 large shallots)
  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 32 oz boxes of chicken broth (about 8 cups)
  • 1 tbsp truffle butter or truffle oil
  • 2 boxes of mushrooms sliced Baby Bellas, or crimini or 1 cup dried mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • flat-leaf parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the mushrooms. If using fresh mushrooms, sautee them in a little olive oil and set them aside. If using dried mushrooms, grab about 1 cup and put in a bowl of warm water. Let soak for about 20 minutes.
  • Bring all the broth to simmer on a back burner.
  • Melt two tbsp of butter in the Dutch oven.
  • Add the diced shallots and cook for about three minutes or until soft.
  • Add the rice. Stir occasionally until they are starting to toast.
  • Add wine to deglaze the pot.
  • When most of the moisture is absorbed, start adding the heated broth a cup at a time. Repeat cup by cup until the risotto becomes thick and creamy. Do this until you have only about 2 cups left in the saucepan.
  • Add truffle butter, Parmesan cheese, and mushrooms to the pot. Stir and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • If you like it to be a little creamier, add a little bit of the extra broth until the texture is how you like it.
  • Serve garnished with flat-leaf parsley and a little more Parmesan.
