Learn how to make a basic mushroom risotto.
Servings: 8
Ingredients

- 1 shallot chopped
- 2 gloves garlic chopped
- 1 lb. fresh mushrooms
- 2 cups arborio rice

- Add mushrooms and sauté for approx. 4-5 minutes until tender; remove and set aside.
- Add remaining olive oil and arborio rice and sauté over medium heat to toast the rice approximately 3 minutes.
- Add one cup of the simmering chicken stock, stirring constantly, and simmer until the stock is absorbed.
- Continue adding stock as it is absorbed, 1/2 cup at a time, until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Just before the rice is done, add the fresh thyme and reserved mushrooms. Stir to combine.

When do you add back in the mushrooms and shallots?
Hg, just before the risotto is cooked. I would add them right after I added the last bit of stock since they are already cooked. Thanks for pointing this out.
