Ingredients
  

1 cup Arborio rice

2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon truffle oil (plus extra for drizzling)

2 cups mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and oyster), sliced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: crispy fried shallots for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Broth: In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the vegetable or chicken broth until hot but not boiling. Keep it warm on a low flame while you cook the rice.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

      Cook the Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove half of the mushrooms and set them aside for garnishing later.

        Toast the Rice: Add the Arborio rice to the skillet with the remaining mushrooms. Stir it well, allowing the rice to toast slightly for about 2-3 minutes.

          Add the Broth Gradually: Begin adding the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb most of the liquid before adding the next ladle. Repeat until the rice is creamy and al dente, approximately 18-20 minutes.

            Mix in Cream and Cheese: Once the rice has reached your desired consistency, reduce the heat and pour in the heavy cream along with the truffle oil. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

              Serve: Spoon the creamy truffle mushroom risotto into bowls. Top with the reserved sautéed mushrooms, a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley, and an extra drizzle of truffle oil. For added crunch and flavor, sprinkle crispy fried shallots on top.

                Enjoy: Dive into your creamy truffle mushroom rice bowl while it's still warm, embracing the cozy, comforting flavors.
