Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken broth or sub vegetable broth
  • 6 tablespoons butter divided
  • 8 ounces Portobello mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces white mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces Shiitake mushroom thinly sliced and stems removed
  • 2 shallots diced
  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine you can use more broth to replace
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese

Instructions

  • Bring broth to a slow boil over medium heat in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and liquid, and set aside. 
  • Heat the butter in a pan and stir in the shallots. Simmer for 60 seconds, then add your rice and coat it with butter; keep stirring everything together for approximately 2 minutes until the risotto has taken on a pale golden hue. Pour in either wine or broth while continuing to stir, allowing every drop of liquid to be fully absorbed before moving forward.
  • Ladle 1/2 cup of heated broth over the top of your mixture at intervals, stirring intermittently as you do so that all of the flavors come together evenly throughout its cooking time—roughly 20 minutes will get you al dente perfection!
  • Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives (optional), parmesan and asiago cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
