This classic dish is made great by the mouthwatering combination of sautéed mushrooms and Parmigiano Reggiano. A rich dish that carries itself well as a solo dish and pairs beautifully with a Cabernet Franc.
Ingredients:
1.5 cups Arborio rice
5 cups heated mushroom broth (give or take)
3/4 cup white wine (preferably dry)
2 cups of wild mushrooms (shiitake, chanterelle, oyster,, etc., rough chopped)
1 cup mushroom (thinly sliced)
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp avocado oil (or another high heat cooking oil)
1 large yellow onion
2 stalks celery
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 large handful of fresh herbs (suggested: thyme and parsley)
1/2 cup aged Parmigiano Reggiano (grated)
Black pepper to taste
Olive oil to taste (upon serving)
Notes:
This dish is inspired by an ex boyfriend who taught me how to cook this using a cooking app he was fond of. After we broke up, I decided to keep the inspiration. As I re-created the dish, I used many websites, recipes and ideas that came together to formulate the recipe I have now.
Pairing:
This dish is so versatile, it pairs lovely with a Pinot Noir, a Chianti, or even a smooth Cabernet Sauvignon.
