Portabello Mushroom Risotto

I N G R E D I E N T S

1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp (or 2 cloves) minced garlic
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup Arborio rice
4 cups vegetable stock
1/4 cup white wine

2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup chopped scallions
Salt & ground black pepper

D I R E C T I O N S

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the broth over medium-high heat until warm. Once hot, reduce to low heat to keep warm.

  2. In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the shallots and garlic for 2-3 minutes until aromatic. Add the rice and stir constantly for 1 minute to toast the grains for flavor.

  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped mushrooms, thyme, and wine. Cook until wine is fully absorbed by the rice.

  4. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup of warm broth and cook on medium-low until absorbed, stirring occasionally. Repeat with 1/2 cup of broth at a time until all broth is absorbed. Remove from heat.

  5. Add the balsamic vinegar, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and serve hot.
