Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Soak dried mushrooms in very hot water.

  2. Step 2

    Heat chicken stock to a simmer in a saucepan.

  3. Step 3

    Chop onion. Heat oil in a deep heavy-bottom nonstick pan until it is medium hot. Add onion, and saute until it begins to take on a little color.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, wash and slice fresh mushrooms and add to onion.

  5. Step 5

    Add rice to mixture, and stir until it is well coated.

  6. Step 6

    Add wine, and stir until it cooks away, about 2 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Add about a cup of the simmering stock to rice mixture, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until liquid has been absorbed.

  8. Step 8

    Continue adding broth as it is absorbed into the rice, stirring often.

  9. Step 9

    Just before adding the last liquid, drain soaking mushrooms well, reserve liquid and add mushrooms to rice. For last liquid addition, use mushroom liquid.

  10. Step 10

    Add peas and cook a minute, until they are tender.

  11. Step 11

    Grate cheese. When rice is tender and there is broth left to make it slightly runny, season with salt and pepper, and serve. Top with cheese.

I think this recipe is in the ‘Italian comfort food’ category so it is forgiving … I used beer ( an IPA ) instead of wine and didn’t have porcini mushrooms so skipped them … otherwise followed the recipe and it turned out ‘great’ as voted by my teenage daughters …
