Ingredients

200 g fresh mushrooms (or other wild mushrooms)
1 medium yellow onion (approx. 80 g)
1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
100 g Parmesan block
180 g Arborio rice (risotto rice)
80 ml dry white wine
600 ml vegetable broth

Pantry

3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp rapeseed oil
Salt
Black pepper, ground

Preparation

1
Peel and finely dice the onion. Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly. Finely grate the Parmesan.

Instructions

1
Heat the rapeseed oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion, reduce the heat, and sauté until translucent for approx. 4–5 minutes.
2
Add the sliced mushrooms and 1 tbsp butter to the pan. Lightly salt and sauté for approx. 4–5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and have released their liquid.
3
Briefly increase the heat, add the risotto rice, another tbsp butter, and the thyme. Sauté everything for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly. Deglaze with the white wine and let it reduce almost completely.
4
Now pour in approx. 100 ml of the vegetable broth. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is almost absorbed. Repeat this process step by step until all the broth is used up and the rice is cooked but still firm to the bite (al dente). This takes a total of about 20–25 minutes.
5
Once the rice has reached the desired consistency, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the remaining tbsp butter and approx. 80 g of the grated Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.

Serving

1
Serve the risotto on plates, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan, and serve immediately.

Tip

For an even more intense aroma, you can replace some of the mushrooms with dried porcini mushrooms (soak them in warm water beforehand).

Make sure the vegetable broth is hot when adding it, so that the cooking process of the rice is not interrupted.

Ein Schuss Schlagobers am Ende macht das Risotto noch cremiger, falls Sie es besonders gehaltvoll mögen! Dazu passt ein Glas des verwendeten Weißweins hervorragend.
