How to make it
- Bring stock to a simmer in a 4-quart pot and keep at a bare simmer, covered.
- Heat oil with 1 tablespoon butter in a 4- to 5-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until browned and any liquid they give off is evaporated, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl.
- Cook onions in 2 tablespoons butter in same saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Ladle in 1 cup simmering stock and cook at a strong simmer, stirring, until absorbed. Continue simmering and adding stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring very frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until rice is just tender and creamy-looking, 18-20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in remaining tablespoon butter, sautéed mushrooms, cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. If desired, thin risotto with some of leftover stock.
