Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sauté until translucent.
Step 2: Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Step 3: Stir in the Arborio rice, coating it well with the oil, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4: Pour in the Pinot Grigio wine and cook until it's absorbed by the rice.
Step 5: Gradually add the vegetable stock, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until the liquid is absorbed before adding more, until the rice is creamy and tender.
Step 6: Stir in the lemon zest, juice, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 7: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
