Preparation:10 min - Cooking:35 min

1. I rinse my mushrooms under running cold water, dry them and then slice them.

2. I peel then finely chop my onion.

3. In a skillet, I melt my butter then I add my mushrooms and half of my minced onion. I let it cook for 3 minutes over low heat.

4. I then add half of my glass of white wine and simmer for 2 minutes so that it reduces.

5. I add my fresh cream, I salt, pepper and reserve my preparation in a dish.

6. I boil 1 liter of water in a saucepan in which I dilute my bouillon cubes.

7. In the same skillet, I pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the rest of my chopped onion. I let it cook for 3 minutes so that it browns slightly.

8. I add my rice and mix. I let it cook for 2 min (it should become transparent) and I add the rest of my glass of white wine.

9. I pour a ladle of my broth and mix. Once the liquid is well absorbed by my rice, I pour a new ladle and so on until my rice is well melted and my broth exhausted. It takes about 20 min.

10. Once my rice is cooked, I add my parmesan and my mushroom preparation. I leave to heat over low heat for 2 minutes and I serve very hot!

My bonus tip

Why not sprinkle your mushroom risotto with some aromatic herbs, such as parsley or coriander?

You can also serve it with some parmesan shavings, it will only be better!
