To make Taleggio risotto with zucchini and mushrooms, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 cup Arborio rice

– 4 oz sliced mushrooms
– 1 diced onion
– 2 cloves minced garlic

To begin, heat the chicken broth in a saucepan and keep it warm over low heat. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter and add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent.
