Sauté the Mushrooms Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the cremini mushrooms and cook until browned and slightly caramelized (about 5–7 minutes). Heat chicken broth 2. Build the Flavor Base In a large pan, heat remaining olive oil and add more butter if needed over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft and translucent (about 2–3 minutes). Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then remove and add to chicken stock. 3. Toast the Rice Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes. This step helps give risotto that signature creamy texture. 4. Deglaze with Wine Pour in the white wine and stir until mostly absorbed. This adds that subtle brightness you probably noticed in the Haven version 5. Add Broth Gradually Add warm chicken broth one or two ladles at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Continue this process for about 22-25 minutes, until the rice is tender but still slightly firm (al dente). 6. Add Parmesan cheese a little at a time. Mix until creamy and glossy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. 👇 We would love to hear from you: Have you ever tried risotto on a cruise ship?
