Creamy Rice Risotto

Preparation

1. Mince onion and thyme leaves.
2. Add broth to a large pot, cover and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and keep covered after it boils. Set aside.
3. White the broth is heating up, in a second large pot heat one tablespoon of the butter. Add the onion and cook on low heat until soft and translucent. Do not brown the onions.
4. Turn the heat up to medium. Add rice and cook until lightly toasted, 2-3 minutes, mixing to ensure the rice does not burn.
5. Add the wine and cook for a few minutes until most of the wine has evaporated.
6. Using a ladle, add half of the hot vegetable broth. Cover the pot containing the rice/broth mixture, leave on medium and cook for 10 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure the rice is not sputtering, if so lower the heat.
7. Add the mushrooms and remaining broth. Mix and cover for 10 minutes.
8. Take lid off the pot. Shut off the heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, thyme and Parmigianino cheese. Mix thoroughly and serve.
