INGREDIENTS

(Serving Size 8)

6 tablespoons butter

16 oz baby bella mushrooms

2 cloves minced garlic

3 finely chopped shallots

2 cups arborio rice

1/2 cup white wine

6 cups vegetable broth

1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh peas

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon rosemary

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To begin, heat the butter in a large pan ( I am using 3.5 Quart Sauté Pan with Short Handles

from 360cookware) over medium heat. Once melted, add the mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes until softened. Then, add the peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes until well mixed and the mushrooms have shrunk in size. Remove the mixture to a clean plate and set aside.

2. Return the pan to the stove and add additional butter and shallots. Sautee until the shallots are transparent. Then, add the rice and cook for 1 minute. After that, reduce heat to medium-low heat and add the white wine and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Slowly add in the stock, one cup at a time, stirring frequently.

3. When the rice is almost cooked through, stir in the peas and mushroom mixture for an additional 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt, thyme, and rosemary.

4. Finally, stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese until fully melted. Serve the risotto with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
