Preparation

What You Need

2 cups (500 ml) chicken broth
1/2 cup (125 ml) dry white wine or
additional broth
2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
3 cups (750 ml) sliced mushrooms
2/3 cup (160 ml) chopped onion
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 cup (250 ml) Arborio or
Italian-style rice
1 cup (250 ml) grated Canadian Cheddar cheese
Canadian Parmesan cheese, to taste

Instructions

In medium saucepan, combine chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil. Cover with lid and turn off heat.

In large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat and sauté mushrooms, onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook 1 minute.

Gradually add stock-wine liquid by 1 cup (250 mL) amounts while constantly stirring. Cook until rice is tender but still slight firm, about 20 minutes.

Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. If serving immediately, stir in Cheddar and Parmesan cheese and parsley
