Instructions
- In a large pan add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of butter and garlic, cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and parsley, cook until mushrooms are tender and slightly golden.
- In an another large pan add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter, melt, add the rice, stir to combine then cook on medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the broth a little at a time (about 1/2 cup at a time), stirring often, lower heat a little, you want a low simmer, you do not want the rice to cook too quickly. Let the rice absorb the broth (but not dry out, a little moist) before adding more. Taste for salt (you may not have to add any if you have a salty broth), cook for approximately 20-30 minutes or until the rice is al dente, not mushy and a little moisture remains.
- Add the mushrooms and stir to combine well, add the mascarpone and parmesan, gently combine. Top with parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Mushroom risotto is best when it's made. If you have leftovers, you can reheat them with a splash of broth to thin it. Or, even better, use it to make homemade arancini which are delicious rice balls.
