A rich and comforting wild mushroom risotto enhanced with the luxurious aroma of white truffle oil. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for cozy dinners and delivers creamy, earthy flavors with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (300 grams) Arborio rice
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) mixed wild mushrooms, sliced (cremini, shiitake, oyster)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 small shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup (120 ml) dry white wine (optional but recommended)
  • 5 cups (1.2 liters) vegetable or chicken broth, kept warm
  • ½ cup (50 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons white truffle oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Clean and slice the mushrooms, finely chop the shallots and garlic. Warm your broth on the stove so it’s hot but not boiling (about 160–180°F / 70–80°C). This step takes about 10 minutes.
  2. Sauté the mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in your pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt, cooking until they release moisture and become golden brown, about 7–8 minutes. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
  3. Cook the aromatics: In the same pan, add remaining olive oil and butter. Toss in shallots and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant (2–3 minutes). Don’t let them brown—just translucent.
  4. Toast the rice: Add the arborio rice to the pan, stirring constantly for 2 minutes so each grain is coated and slightly toasted. You’ll notice the rice edges turning translucent.
  5. Deglaze with wine: Pour in the white wine and stir until mostly absorbed.
  6. Slowly add broth: Begin ladling warm broth, about ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, stirring gently and waiting for the rice to absorb it before adding more. This process takes about 20–25 minutes and is key to creamy risotto.
  7. Return mushrooms: When you have about 1 cup (240 ml) of broth left, stir the sautéed mushrooms back into the rice. Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is tender but still has a slight bite (al dente).
  8. Finish with cheese and truffle oil: Remove from heat, stir in Parmesan cheese, and drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of white truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep broth warm to ensure even cooking and creamy texture. Stir gently and consistently to release rice starch without breaking grains. Start with less truffle oil and add more to taste as it is potent. If risotto thickens too much, add a splash of warm broth or water to loosen it up.
