Ingredients:
Instructions:
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the mushrooms for about 3-4 minutes or until they are soft and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the 2 cups of cooked white rice. Mix well to combine with the mushrooms. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through.
Reduce the heat to low and add the ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the risotto is creamy.
Taste the risotto and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- For a more intense mushroom flavor, consider adding a variety of mushrooms like cremini or shiitake.
- Stir the risotto constantly to help release the starches in the rice, which gives it that creamy texture.
- If you have it on hand, replace some of the water used to cook the rice with chicken or vegetable broth for extra flavor.
- Add a splash of white wine while sautéing the mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.
This 10-minute garlic mushroom risotto is not only quick to make but also rich in flavor and comforting. Perfect for a last-minute dinner or a simple, satisfying meal any night of the week. Follow the tips to enhance the dish, and enjoy the creamy goodness!
