  • Main Ingredients

    • 🧈 3 tablespoons butter
    • 🍄 3 cups diced mushrooms
    • 🧂 salt to taste
    • 🧅 ½ yellow onion, diced
    • ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
    • 🍚 1 cup carnaroli rice
    • 🍗 2 cups chicken broth, divided

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

Melt butter in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt, and cook until browned.

3

Reduce heat to medium, add onions, and season with black pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook until onions are translucent and soft.

4

Stir rice into the skillet until each grain is coated with butter. Season with salt.

5

Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the rice mixture. Cook while stirring until the liquid is completely absorbed.

6

Pour another cup of chicken stock into the mixture. Bring it to a simmer.

7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the grains are almost tender but slightly firm, about 15 minutes.

8

Transfer skillet back to the stovetop. Mix remaining ½ cup chicken broth and cream, and stir into the risotto until the rice is tender, about 1-2 minutes.

9

Remove skillet from heat. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of cream, stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano, and garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
