1- Creating a delicious French Onion Mushroom Risotto starts with simple, organized steps that build layers of flavor. Begin by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the sliced onion for 6 to 8 minutes until it’s soft and fragrant. Next, add the mushrooms and cook for another 8 minutes until they’re fully cooked and golden.

2- Meanwhile, warm the broth in a separate pot over medium-low heat to keep it ready for the rice. Remove the onions and mushrooms with a slotted spoon and set them aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and stir in the arborio rice until it’s well coated, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook until it mostly evaporates, adding a nice depth to your Savory Risotto.

3- Now, add the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and letting the rice absorb the liquid before adding more. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is al dente and creamy. Stir in the French onion dip mix and thyme if you’re using it, then return the onion and mushroom mixture to the skillet along with the Parmesan cheese. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, stir well, remove from heat, and serve with extra cheese on top. This method ensures a Rich Risotto that’s ready in about 45 minutes and serves 4 to 6 people.
