Title: Mushroom & Vegetable Risotto 🥘🍄

Intro: Dive into the rich flavors of this creamy risotto, bursting with earthy mushrooms and vibrant vegetables! 🌿✨

Ingredients:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, bell peppers)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:
1. Start by warming the vegetable broth in a saucepan over low heat; keep it simmering gently while you prepare the risotto.
2. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the Arborio rice to the pan, stirring to coat with the oil and allowing it to lightly toast for a minute.
5. Pour in one ladle of the hot vegetable broth to the rice mixture, stirring until the liquid is absorbed.
6. Continue adding the broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and cooked through, about 18-20 minutes.
7. Halfway through the cooking process, mix in the mixed vegetables and dried thyme, ensuring they are well incorporated.
8. Once the risotto is ready, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
