  • Heat some water with the dried mushrooms to prepare the mushroom broth.
  • In a pan, melt the butter and brown the thinly sliced ​​shallot. Add the rice, toast it and add the white wine, deglazing it.
  • Add the mushroom broth gradually and cook.
  • Turn off the heat, add a knob of butter and the parmesan and stir.
  • Serve the risotto with the mushrooms placed in the center of the flower-shaped plate or you can add them directly to the risotto.
