- 2 cup Arborio rice
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 4 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan
Prepare
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 clove garlic, crushed with press, divided
- 1 lb mixed wild mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
- 1 red chile, thinly sliced
- 2 sprig thyme, broken into small pieces

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Stir in half of the crushed garlic and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
-
Step 3.
Add the Arborio rice and dry white wine. Cook, stirring constantly, until the wine is fully absorbed, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Pour in the chicken broth (or water), salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Stir in the finely grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Spread 3 cups of the risotto onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool. Set aside or refrigerate covered for later use.
-
Step 6.
While the risotto simmers, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the sliced mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
-
Step 7.
Add the remaining mushrooms to the skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Then add the sliced red chile, broken thyme sprigs, and remaining garlic. Cook for 2 more minutes, then toss with the first batch of mushrooms.
-
Step 8.
Serve the mushroom mixture over the risotto. Top each serving with a fried egg, if desired.
