Be Patient!

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil with a tablespoon of butter in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic, then add the mushrooms, salt, pepper and let them cook for a while. Then add the rice and let it toast for a minute. Add the wine and cook for two minutes to evaporate the alcohol.

Then lower the heat and add one ladle of stock to the pan with the rice (the stock should be warm) and stir until the liquid is absorbed into the rice. And so continue ladle by ladle until you've used up almost all the broth and the rice is soft. Don't forget to keep stirring the rice. Finally, stir in the sour cream, two-thirds of the parsley and the parmesan cheese. Serve warm and garnish each portion with fresh parsley.

Notes

Use arborio rice for the best results in achieving a creamy texture.

The vegetable broth should be heated before adding it to the risotto to maintain a consistent cooking temperature.

Stir the risotto frequently to release the starch and achieve a creamy consistency.

You can substitute the white wine with an equal amount of vegetable broth if desired.

Leftover risotto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of vegetable broth or water and gently heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally.
