Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups vegetable broth, warmed
8 oz mixed mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
2. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
