Ingredients

• 2 cups Arborio rice
• 8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup dried porcini mushrooms
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons truffle oil
• 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth and add the dried porcini mushrooms. Let them soak for 15 minutes, then strain the broth and set it aside.
2. In a separate pan, melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic until they become translucent.
3. Add the Arborio rice to the pan and cook for a few minutes until the rice becomes lightly toasted.

6. Stir in the fresh mushrooms, truffle oil, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
7. Season the risotto with salt and pepper to taste.
