Steps

  • Bring 1 l of stock to a near boil in a pan and keep it hot over a low flame.
  • Melt some butter in another pan and sweat the chopped onion until softened.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the onions and cook for several minutes.
  • Stir in the rice and cook until the grains are well coated and slightly translucent.
  • Add one ladle of hot stock and simmer gently until the liquid is absorbed by the rice.
  • Continue adding stock gradually for 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender but firm.
  • Season the mixture and stir in the olive oil, remaining butter, and some grated parmesan.
  • Serve immediately with the remaining parmesan cheese on the side.
