Before you begin, gather all the ingredients you will need
Today I'm using a white wine - but red work great, as well - or no wine, if you prefer
I am using stock rather than broth, which works fine - but stock has so much more depth. This is a seafood stock
Crimini, yellow oyster and shitake mushroom will be sauteed in butter with a bit of salt & pepper, and added to the risotto at the last minute
Saute the onions in olive oil to translucent...
...add the arborio rice to the onions...
...add the wine and reduce, stir to coat the rice with the oil and onions
Add the stock or broth, 1/2 cup at a time and allow it to be absorbed little by little
You will see the starch being released as the liquid is absorbed - and watch those rice grains grow!
As you add more stock, maintain a gentle simmer, stirring frequently
Thick & creamy - time to add the sauteed mushrooms!
Even on your first attempt, this recipe is so easy to follow, you will be assured of an excellent dish
