Step 1: In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth. Keep it warm on low heat.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.
Step 3: Add the arborio rice to the skillet, stirring for 2-3 minutes until slightly toasted.
Step 4: Gradually add warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until absorbed before adding more. Continue this process for about 15 minutes.
Step 5: While the risotto is cooking, sauté the wild mushrooms in a separate pan with a tablespoon of olive oil until golden and tender.
Step 6: When the risotto is creamy and al dente, stir in the sautéed mushrooms, truffle oil, and parmesan cheese until well combined.
Step 7: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of truffle oil.
