The Best Cheesy Mushroom Risotto You'll Ever Taste

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 Shallot
• 2 Cloves Garlic

  Or 2 Tablespoons Roasted Garlic
• 2 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Cups Arborio Rice
• 1 Cup White Wine
• 6 Cups Chicken stock
• 8 Ounces Feta Cheese
• 10 Thai Peppers

  OPTIONAL
• 8 Ounces Shiitake Mushrooms
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 Clove Garlic

  or ½ Tablespoon Roasted Garlic
• 1 Tablespoon Sherry
• ½ teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions

• 1 Chop Shallot and Garlic. Using a heavy saucepan, heat Olive oil and add chopped
  shallot, garlic, and salt. Add the rice to the pan when the shallots are soft
  and translucent.
• 2 Stir the Arborio rice for about 3 minutes or until the rice has a light golden
  color.
• 3 Add the Wine to the rice. Set the burner on simmer (or low) and stir slowly
  until the rice absorbs the wine. The key here is to stir, stir, stir!
• 4 After the wine is absorbed, add one cup of chicken stock and continue stirring
  over low heat until the stock has been absorbed. It takes about 6 to 8 minutes
  for each cup of broth to absorb into the rice.
• 5 Keep adding the stock one cup at a time, making sure the stock is absorbed
  completely before adding another cup of stock. Keep stirring until all 6 cups of
  broth have been added to the Arborio rice. While the rice is cooking, saute the
  mushrooms.
• 6 After the last cup of stock is absorbed, stir in the feta cheese. Taste and add
  additional salt if needed
• 7 Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saute pan. Add 1 clove of garlic or ½
  tablespoon of roasted garlic and saute. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until
  tender.
• 8 If mushrooms begin to stick, add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan.
• 9 When the mushrooms are golden in color and softened add the Sherry and ½
  teaspoon sea salt.
• 10 Toss the mushrooms until the sherry is absorbed and remove them from the heat.
• 11 Add Risotto to the plate and top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese
• 12 Add Sauteed Mushrooms on top of Risotto
• 13 If adding hot peppers sprinkle them on top of the Risotto
• 14 Serve and enjoy! Make sure to pair it with your favorite wine. We served it with
  asparagus and sometimes lamb or chicken, which can also be enjoyed alone as a
  dinner.
