Ingredients

Servings

• 1-¹⁄₂ cups water

• 1 can reduced-sodium beef broth (14 ounces)

• ¹⁄₂ cup chopped shallots

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tablespoon canola oil

• 1 cup uncooked arborio rice

• 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt

• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper

• ¹⁄₂ cup white wine or additional reduced-sodium beef broth

• 1 cup sliced baby portobello mushrooms, chopped

• ¹⁄₄ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ¹⁄₂ cup mascarpone cheese

Directions

1. In a saucepan, heat the water and beef broth; keep warm.
2. In a separate large saucepan, sauté the shallots and garlic in oil for 2-3 minutes, until the shallots are soft.
3. Stir in the rice, thyme, salt, and pepper, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
4. Lower the heat, add the wine, and stir until the liquid is fully absorbed.
