Mushrooms, Italian Dish, Gluten-free (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 tablespoons of butter.
02 - 1 small onion, finely diced.
03 - 8 oz (225g) of mixed mushrooms, such as button, shiitake, and cremini, sliced.
04 - 4 cups of warmed vegetable or chicken broth.
05 - 1/2 cup of white wine (ensure it’s gluten-free).
06 - 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated.
07 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
08 - Salt and pepper to adjust seasoning.
09 - 1 cup of gluten-free Arborio rice.
10 - 2 minced garlic cloves.
11 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish).

# Instructions:

01 - Simmer the broth in a different pot to keep it warm over low heat.
02 - Warm the olive oil in a big pan over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it turns soft. Then, add the minced garlic and stir for about a minute, until it smells aromatic.
03 - In the same pan, add the mushroom slices and stir. Let them cook for around 5 minutes, until they’ve released their liquid and are golden brown.
04 - Pour the gluten-free rice into the pan. Mix well so it’s coated with the oil and blends with the mushroom-onion mixture. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
05 - Add the white wine to the pan, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until most of it is absorbed.
06 - Pour 1 cup of your warm broth into the pan. Stir often as the rice absorbs the liquid. Keep doing this, one cup at a time, letting it soak up before adding more. Continue for 20-25 minutes until the rice is creamy and cooked.
07 - Once the rice is fully cooked, take the pan off the heat. Add the butter and Parmesan, mixing until melted and creamy.
08 - Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve while it’s still hot, and feel free to sprinkle some parsley on top if you’d like.
