  • 1/2 cup dried wild mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup fresh wild mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, soak the dried wild mushrooms in hot water for 20 minutes. Drain and reserve the soaking liquid.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.

  4. Pour in the white wine and cook until it has been absorbed by the rice.

  7. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 20-25 minutes.
  8. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Remove from heat and let the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving.
