- Ingredients
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 3 Tbsps butter
- 1 onion (peeled and finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 2 ½ cups button Mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 Tbsp thyme
- 2 cups Risotto
- ⅜ cup dry white wine
- 4 cups chicken (or vegetable stock)
Preparation steps
1.
Heat the oil and butter in a large pan and add the onion and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent.
2.
Stir in the mushrooms and thyme and cook for a few minutes until the liquid evaporates.
3.
Add the rice and stir to coat in the butter. Pour in the wine and stir the rice while the wine is absorbed.
4.
Once the wine has cooked in, reduce the heat a little and add the hot stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring fairly continuously. This will give the risotto its creamy texture.
5.
Keep stirring in the stock and tasting the rice. After about 15-20 minutes the rice should be soft but with a slight bite. If you’ve run out of stock before the rice is cooked, simply use water.
6.
Season and remove from the heat. Add the butter and Parmesan (mantecatura) and leave to melt into the risotto.
7.
Stir through the parsley, pesto and pine nuts and serve immediately.
