Instructions:
Step 1
In a large saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.
Step 2
In a separate large pan, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for a couple of minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
Step 4
Pour in the white wine and stir until it's mostly absorbed by the rice.
Step 5
Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more.
Step 6
After about 15 minutes, when the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese.
