Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 1 can (14 ounces) reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 cup chopped shallots
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 cup uncooked arborio rice
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup white wine or additional reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup sliced baby portobello mushrooms, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
Directions
- In a saucepan, heat water and beef broth and keep warm. In another large saucepan, saute shallots and garlic in oil for 2-3 minutes or until shallots are tender. Add rice, thyme, salt and pepper; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in wine. Cook and stir until all of the liquid is absorbed.
- Add heated broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow liquid to absorb between additions. Cook just until risotto is creamy and rice is almost tender, about 20 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and Parmesan cheese; stir gently until cheese is melted. Garnish each serving with 1 heaping tablespoon mascarpone. Serve immediately.
