My Risotto Recipe

In case there is a soul out there interested here is the recipe:

4 cups chicken broth
3 Tbs. Olive Oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 Tbs. garlic
2 cups arborio rice
2 cups champagne or white wine
1 cup baby bella mushrooms
2 Tbs. butter
1 cup peas, frozen
1/4 cup parmesan cheese


Start by heating up 4-5 cups of chicken broth on the stove. In a separate large pot, saute 1 small onion (finely chopped) with a few Tbs. of olive oil. Add a little garlic! Turn the heat down and in 2 cups of the arborio rice. Stir to coat. Now while stirring constantly ever 5 minutes or so add a cup of broth in. Stir until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Keep stirring, don't give up!

In a separate saucepan, saute the mushrooms with 1 Tbs. butter and the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil. Be sure not to crowd the pan with too many mushrooms!!

Once all the broth has been added, then add in the champagne. In the last few minutes, add the parmesan cheese and 1 Tbs. butter. Stir in the mushrooms and peas. Enjoy!!
