A little love letter
Dear parmesan mushroom risotto,
Risotto has a reputation for being needy. Stir, wait, stir again. But I have never minded standing next to you with a glass of white wine in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other.
You come out creamy and loose, rich with parmesan and a good splash of wine, and then the mushrooms. Golden, a little crispy at the edges, tossed with rosemary, sage and thyme until the whole kitchen smells like an autumn forest.
You are what I make when the days get short and nobody wants to go outside anymore. A bowl of you on the couch, far more parmesan than necessary, and honestly, nothing else needs to happen that evening.
Let’s make this piece of happinessxo, Kimberly

Parmesan Mushroom Risotto
Creamy parmesan risotto with mixed mushrooms and fresh herbs. Stirred slowly, served right away. The coziest dinner you can make with one pot.
Hi, I’m Kimberly. The kitchen is my happy place, and everything that turns out really good there ends up here. Including the little tricks I’d usually only tell my friends. more about me
prep
Finely grate the Parmesan. Clean the mushrooms and cut half of them into large pieces and the other half into small pieces. Cut the onion into small pieces. Pluck the herb leaves from the stalks and chop finely.fry the mushrooms
Heat 1 tsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Add the mushrooms and fry for approx. 10 minutes until golden brown. Add the finely chopped herbs, stir and fry briefly. Then deglaze with 50 ml white wine and reduce until there is no more liquid in the pan. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Put the pan to aside.toast the rice
Heat 1 tsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in the pan. Sauté the onions until translucent and then add the risotto rice. Stir everything well and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Now deglaze with 100 ml white wine and reduce over a medium heat until there is no more liquid in the pan.add the stock
Now pour 100 ml of the stock into the rice. Leave to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated. Now pour in the next 100 ml, stir and leave it to simmer until the rice soaked up the liquid. Proceed in the same way with the remaining 200 ml of stock, adding 100 ml at a time and allowing to simmer.add water & wine
Now add 150 ml (1+ ¼ cup) of the water to the rice and also let it cook until the rice absorbed the water. Next, add 100 ml of white wine. Finally, add the last 150 ml (1+ ¼ cup) of water and cook now while stirring. The whole process takes about 40 minutes.stir in the parmesan
