Ingredients:

- 1 Cup: Short Grain Rice

- 1 Pint: Sliced Mushrooms

- 3 Cups: Bone Broth or Beef / Chicken Stock

- 1 Tbsp: Big Horn Spicy Calabrian Pesto Olive Oil

- 1/4 Tsp Each: Salt, Pepper, Dried Thyme, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder

- Parmesan or Asiago Cheese (Grated, to taste)

Directions:

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp Big Horn Spicy Calabrian Pesto Olive Oil over medium in a large saucepan.

Step 2: Add 1 cup short grain rice and stir for 1-2 minutes to lightly “toast” rice.

Step 3: Add 3 cups broth or stock, 1 cup at a time* (see below) + 1/4 tsp each, salt, pepper, dried thyme, and garlic and onion powders.

Step 4: Bring rice, broth, and seasonings to a light simmer and stir occasionally. *Broth quantity will total roughly 3 cups in all.

Step 5: Add broth to rice in 3/4-1 cup increments until liquid is mostly absorbed, then add more. (Rice is done when creamy and tender and most liquid is absorbed.)

Step 6: While rice is cooking, sauté 1 pint sliced mushrooms over medium heat in Spicy Calabrian Pesto Olive Oil, salt, and garlic powder for 5-6 minutes, until water is gone and mushrooms are golden.

Step 7: Top risotto with mushrooms and grated parmesan or asiago cheese.

Enjoy!
