Time: 30 mins
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons shallots, chopped
- 2 cups sliced baby portabella mushrooms, not too thin
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2/3 cup arborio rice (any short or medium grain will work)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon lemon, zest of
- 1 tablespoon butter

- 1/4 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese or 1/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese
- 3 -4 tablespoons salted cashews, chopped
Directions
- 1 Warm chicken broth either on stove or in microwave
- 2 Heat 2 Tablespoons butter and oil in large skillet or sauce pan over medium heat
- 3 Stir in shallots, cook for 1 minute to soften
- 4 Add mushrooms and basil and saute until mushrooms are softened, about 2 minutes
- 5 Adjust heat to medium high and add rice, salt and pepper, stirring constantly until rice is just starting to turn golden, 1 or 2 minutes
- 6 Add wine and stir until almost completely evaporated
- 7 Begin adding chicken broth, about 1/2 cup at a time
- 8 After each 1/2 cup addition, stir frequently, until broth is almost evaporated and add the next 1/2 cup
- 9 Do the same for each addition of broth, stirring frequently
- 10 Begin tasting the rice for doneness during the last two additions of broth for tenderness--it should be al dente-tender with a slight bite to it
- 11 If rice is not done after the last addition, continue cooking as above adding another 1/2 cup of broth until done
- 12 Remove from heat and stir in remaining tablespoon of butter, lemon zest, cream if using, cheese and cashews
- 13 Adjust salt and pepper as needed, remembering that if you are using salted cashews it will add to the saltiness of the dish
- 14 Serve immediately
- 15 Note: The cream will make it extra creamy
