Step by Step guide

Step 1

Rinse the rice and dry it. Grate the cheese.

Step 2

Chop the mushrooms into small cubes and finely chop the onion. Sauté the onion in butter until soft, add the mushrooms, and once they release their juice, stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes, then add the rice and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Pour in 2 tablespoons of wine, let it evaporate, then add the broth, season with salt, add basil, and simmer on low heat, periodically adding broth (if the broth is salty, do not add salt).

Step 4

Simmer, stirring constantly and adding broth until the rice is soft and a creamy sauce forms. Then add pepper, cardamom, Parmesan cheese, and blue cheese. When the cheeses melt and the sauce takes on a rich color and a certain thickness, the dish is ready.
