Ingredients

2 cups arborio rice
1L chicken stock (liquid) hot
1 tbs butter
2 tbs olive oil
1 field mushrooms chopped peeled
125 ml white wine
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 tsp lemon rind grated
1/2 cup parmesan shaved
1/4 tsp white pepper
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 onion finely chopped

Method

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in large saucepan.
Step 2

Add onion and garlic then fry until softened but not brown. Add rice and cook, stirring until rice is coated and changes colour slightly, this will take around 5 minutes.
Step 3

Add the white wine and stir until all moisture is absorbed.
Step 4

Add one cup of chicken stock, and simmer and stir until absorbed. Then add mushrooms and thyme while stirring constantly. Continue to add the stock one cup at a time, stirring until absorbed after each cup is added.
Step 5

Once all the stock has been added and rice is cooked, take off the heat and stir in parmesan, pepper and lemon rind. Can cook for longer if required.
