Butter3 tbsp
Olive oil2 tbsp

Method

1

Heat the broth in a separate pot and keep it at a gentle simmer throughout cooking.

2

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large shallow pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and liquid evaporates, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

3

Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to the same pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 2 minutes.

4

Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

5

Add arborio rice and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes until slightly toasted and translucent at the edges.

6

Add warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be mostly absorbed before adding the next, about 15–18 minutes total.

7

When rice is tender and creamy, remove from heat and stir in remaining 2 tbsp butter, heavy cream, and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.

8

Fold in cooked mushrooms and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

9

Divide among bowls and top with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
