Instructions
    Risotto Base
  1. 1
    Prepare the Bone BrothIn a large pot, heat bone broth over low heat, keeping it warm throughout the cooking process.
    Homemade bone broth works best for rich flavor, but store-bought is a good alternative.
  2. 2
    Sauté AromaticsIn a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and finely chopped onion. Sauté until translucent and fragrant.
    The aromatics form the flavorful base of the risotto.
  3. 3
    Toast Arborio RiceAdd Arborio rice to the pan with the aromatics. Stir well to coat the rice with the oil. Toast for a couple of minutes until the edges become translucent.
    Toasting the rice enhances its nutty flavor and helps it absorb the broth properly.
    4. Cooking Risotto
  4. 4
    Deglaze with White WinePour in a splash of white wine to deglaze the pan. Stir the rice until the wine is absorbed.
    The wine adds a depth of flavor to the risotto.
  5. 5
    Add Broth GraduallyLadle in a cup of warm bone broth into the rice. Stir continuously until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth gradually, stirring constantly.
    Adding broth slowly and stirring frequently helps release the rice's starch for a creamy texture.
  6. 6
    Incorporate Spinach & MushroomsWhen the rice is almost al dente, fold in fresh spinach leaves and sautéed mushrooms. Cook for a few minutes until the spinach wilts and the mushrooms are tender.
    The spinach and mushrooms add earthy flavors and a pop of color to the dish.
  7. 7
    Finish with Parmesan & ButterOff the heat, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and a knob of butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    The Parmesan and butter enrich the risotto, making it creamy and indulgent.
    8. Serve & Enjoy
  8. 8
    Garnish & ServeServe the bone broth risotto hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
    Freshly cracked black pepper and a sprinkle of chopped parsley make lovely finishing touches.
