Instructions

1
Heat the stock in a pot and keep it hot. In a pan, sauté the porcini mushrooms in one tablespoon of oil over high heat until golden brown. Set them aside on a plate.
2
In the same pan, heat the remaining oil and sauté the shallot until translucent. Add the rice and toast it (cook for 2 minutes) until the edges become translucent.
3
Deglaze the rice with white wine and stir until the alcohol evaporates.
4
Begin gradually adding the hot stock (one ladle at a time). Stir continuously while adding, so the rice releases its starch, creating a creamy texture. Add the next ladle only once the rice has absorbed the previous one.
5
After about 15 minutes, when the rice is almost cooked (al dente), return the sautéed porcini mushrooms to the pan and add the fresh thyme.
6
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter, Parmesan, and lemon zest. Cover for 2 minutes, then stir vigorously (mantecatura) and serve with freshly ground pepper.
