Ingredients
  • 4 C good chicken stock
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1/4 C (1/2 stick) unsalted butter (used in different stages)
  • 1/4 lb fresh wild mushrooms such as porcini or chanterelles wiped clean with a damp kitchen towel and sliced thin...I used baby portabella's in the picture.
  • 1/3 C finely sweet onions
  • 1 1/2 C Arborio rice
  • 1 1/2 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (3/4 cup)
  • NOTE: IF using canned broth be careful not to add too much additional salt.

Directions
  1. Bring stock to a simmer in a 4-quart pot and keep at a bare simmer, covered.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
