Risotto sounds intimidating but it’s actually pretty easy to make, and totally delicious.

The first time Joe attempted to make risotto he had the heat too low and it took about 4 hours to make, it tasted great but no one wants to stir rice for 4 hours. Finally he perfected his technique and it now takes a little over 30 minutes to make now.

Easy to make Mushroom Risotto

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 5 – 6 Cups of Chicken Stock
  • 3 TBS of Olive Oil
  • 1/3 cup of finely chopped onion
  • 1.5 cups of Arborio Rice
  • 1/2 cup of grated parmigiano cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced mushrooms
  • 1/2 tsp of ground black pepper
  • 2 TBS of butter

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan bring the chicken stock to a simmer and maintain a low heat.
  2. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat add the olive oil and onions, cook until translucent (about 2 min)
  3. Add the rice and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until rice is well coated with oil.
