Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 4-6 Baby Bella or white mushrooms sliced thin
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 4-6 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 cup Arborio Rice
  • 1/2 Onion chopped

Method
 

  1. Prepare the ingredients, then, heat a medium sized skillet on medium heat. Add oil and swirl to coat, add butter, mushrooms and onions. Season with salt and pepper. 
  2. Sauté until onions become translucent, add in the Arborio rice and stir-fry for a few minutes, to brown the rice a bit. 
  3. Add a cup of the beef broth and let it cook until the liquid is absorbed, keep adding a cup of the broth and letting the liquid absorb until the rice is tender and creamy, about 25-30 minutes.

Notes

Serve with your favorite main dish; I like to serve it with lamb shanks.
