Ingredients

  • 2 ½-3 cups baby portabella mushrooms, finely chopped
  • ½ cup chopped red onion
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 ½ cups arborio rice
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ¾ cup white wine
  • cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Chop the mushrooms fine. Chop the onions and mince the garlic.
  • Put the chicken stock in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • In a large rimmed pan over medium heat melt the butter with the olive oil, then add the mushrooms and onions and saute for a few minutes, stirring, until the onions are just beginning to soften. Add the rice, and stir well, then add the white wine and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Add ½ cup simmered stock to the mixture and cook and stir until most of the liquid is absorbed, then add another ½ cup of stock.
  • Cook, stir, and add additional stock ½ cup full at a time, waiting until most of the stock is absorbed before adding more, until the rice is tender, about 25-30 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and serve.
