ingredients
- 6 -8 cups chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 shallots, chopped fine
- 1 cup mushroom, chopped
- 1 cup risotto rice
- 1 cup Chardonnay wine
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese (plus a little extra)
- 3 tablespoons parsley
- salt
- pepper
directions
- 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.
- Continue adding stock and constantly stir. As rice nears doneness, add smaller amounts of stock. Rice should not be overcooked, and is done when mixture is consistency of a heavy cream.
- Remove from heat and add butter, parmesan, parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with additional grated cheese. Serve immediately.

<br>I'm a native Idahoan, but spent seven years in Kansas City before moving to Seattle five years ago. I work for a large international nonprofit in fundraising, but my true passion is cooking and baking.
<br>
<br>My dream in life would be to open my own delicatessen--I do not believe a sandwich to my standards can be found in Seattle. There are some good ones, but not the best.

<br>I am married to my best friend, Sean, who also acts as my personal sous chef in our kitchen. We have two cats, Jackson and T-Bone, and love to garden and play outside. We also love to trapse downtown to Pike Place Market and gather ingredients for a delicious meal. You can find anything there, but we especially love the fresh fish selection, of course the produce, the bread from Three Girl's Bakery, the sausages from Uli's, the cheeses from DiLaurenti's, and the hot donuts across the hall. YUM!
