1 ½ cupsArborio rice
1 lbfresh mushrooms
sliced, you can't go wrong with a mix of cremini and shiitake

small, finely chopped
2 clovesgarlic

1 cupdry white wine
something you'd enjoy sipping
2 tablespoonsolive oil
1 teaspoondried thyme
salt
to taste
pepper
to taste
½ cupParmesan cheese
grated
2 tablespoonsunsalted butter
Fresh parsley
for garnish
Instructions
Step 1
1. Start with heating the olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Throw in the onions and sweat them until they are soft and translucent.
Step 2
2. Add the garlic and mushrooms into the skillet. Cook them until the mushrooms are browned and all their moisture has evaporated—hello, flavor town!
Step 3
3. Transfer the mushroom mixture into your slow cooker. Pour in the Arborio rice and give it a good stir to coat it with all that mushroom goodness.
Step 4
4. Time to deglaze your skillet with that white wine. Make sure to get all those delicious bits off the pan, then pour everything into the slow cooker.
Step 5
5. Add the broth, dried thyme, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper into your slow cooker. Give it another stir, then set it to cook on high for 2 hours. Note to self no peeking needed—let the slow cooker work its magic.
Step 6
6. After 2 hours, check your risotto. The rice should be tender but with a slight bite, and most of the liquid should be absorbed.
Step 7
7. To finish, stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter until everything's dreamy and creamy.
Step 8
8. Serve it up hot with a sprinkling of fresh parsley (it's not just for looks; it adds a lovely fresh flavor too!).
