PARMESAN MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat stock in a saucepan over medium heat; reduce to simmer. In cast iron pan over medium heat add olive oil and heat. Add mushrooms and shallots, stirring until translucent. Add rice, stirring until rice begins to make a clicking sound (approximately 3-4 minutes).
• Add wine and cook until wine is absorbed. Using a ladle, add 3/4 cup of hot chicken stock to rice, and with a wooden spoon, stir constantly. (Do not stir vigorously or rice will become gluey). When rice is slightly thickened, add another 3/4 cup of stock.
