Ingredients:


4 tablespoons virgin olive oil

1/2 medium red onion -- finely chopped

1/2 pound fresh porcini mushrooms

1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms

1 1/2 cups Italian arborio rice

4 cups chicken stock

1 cup vin santo -- (Italian dessert wine)

4 tablespoons sweet butter

1/2 cup freshly-grated parmigiano-reggiano

1 teaspoon salt -- to taste

1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
 

Preparation / Directions:


Heat the chicken stock to simmer and place on back burner at low temperature. In a heavy-bottom 12- to 14-inch sauté pan over medium flame, heat chopped onion in 4 tablespoons virgin olive oil and sauté until translucent but not browned. Add mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned but not fully cooked. Add rice and stir over heat one minute to coat thoroughly. Add a 4 ounce ladle of warm chicken stock and, stirring constantly, allow it to cook, boiling slowly until it dissipates. When it is gone, add another ladle of broth and repeat until rice is quite al dente (about 12 to 14 minutes). Add butter, vin santo and parmigiano-reggiano and bring to boil again, continuing to stir until rice is done, firm and tender all the way through. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
