    Preparation Steps

    1

    Rinse the rice in cold water, then drain well.

    2

    Finely chop the onion and garlic. Clean and thinly slice the mushrooms.

    3

    In a large skillet, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened.

    4

    Add the sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes, until softened and they have released their liquid.

    5

    If desired, pour in the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate for 2-3 minutes.

    6

    Add the rice and stir to coat the grains with the flavored base.

    7

    Pour in the water or vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

    8

    Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

    9

    Remove from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

    10

    Before serving, fluff the rice with a fork, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and grate Parmesan cheese on top, if desired.
