Lentil and mushroom risotto is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. Start by sautéing mushrooms in a pot until they are tender and golden brown. Add in lentils, arborio rice, and vegetable broth. Let the mixture cook for about 30 minutes until the rice is tender and the broth has been absorbed. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped herbs for extra flavor.
