Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock, hot/simmered. More may be needed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound mushrooms (any variety, thinly sliced)
- ½ cup onion (peeled and minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
- 1 ½ cups arborio rice (short grain rice)
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 cup frozen peas (thaw. Optional)
- 2 tablespoons chives (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Bring the stock to a simmer in a small saucepan
- Place a medium-sized saucepan over a medium heat. When it’s heated, add the olive oil, then the onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until the onions start to soften. Add the garlic, and sauté until it’s fragrant, approximately 30 seconds
- Add the mushrooms, and increase the heat to medium high. Cover the pan, and cook for 3-5 minutes, until they soften. If the pan seems dry (and there’s no liquid in the pan), splash in 2-3 tablespoons of water or stock, and continue cooking until the mushrooms soften
- Add the rice, and thoroughly combine with the vegetables. Add the white wine, and stir until it’s absorbed
- Add the simmering stock, approximately ½ cup (4 oz) at a time. stirring regularly, approximately every 60-90 seconds.  Wait until each addition of stock is absorbed by the rice before adding more stock
- After approximately 20-30 minutes, the rice will be tender, yet still have a firmness to the center of the grain
- Turn off the heat, and add the peas and Parmesan cheese. Garnish with the chives, and serve immediately
