Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 portabello mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm over low heat.
  2. In a separate large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced bell peppers to the skillet, and cook until they start to soften.
  4. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for a few minutes until the rice is coated with the oil and vegetables.
  5. Pour in the white wine and cook until it is absorbed by the rice.
  6. Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding more.
  7. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente, about 20-25 minutes.
