Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups Arborio rice

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

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

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

In a saucepan, heat the broth over low heat to keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

      Stir in the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 7 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.

        Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the rice with the oil and butter, cooking until slightly translucent, about 2 minutes.

          Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until the wine has mostly evaporated.

            Begin adding the warmed broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until each ladleful is absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 20 minutes.

              Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the heavy cream, remaining butter, and Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

                Remove from heat and let it sit for 2 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
