Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in the mushroom powder. Cover, reduce heat, and maintain a simmer until needed for the risotto.
In another large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until softened but not browned, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rice and bay leaf, stirring to coat evenly. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the rice emits a nutty aroma and appears glassy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the wine and 1/4 cup of simmering broth. Cook, stirring continuously, until all the liquid has been absorbed.
Continue adding chicken broth in 1/2 cup increments, stirring constantly and adding more broth only after the previous liquid has been absorbed. Repeat until all the broth is used and the rice is tender but not mushy, typically 20 to 25 minutes.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they release their liquid and the liquid has evaporated, around 5 to 7 minutes. Gently incorporate the mushrooms into the risotto. Stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and butter, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and allow to rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
