Ingredients

300 g	Arborio rice or other risotoo rice
25 g	dried mixed mushrooms
1 medium	onion, finely chopped
900 ml	vegetable stock or chicken stock (maybe prepared with stock cubes)
100 ml	white wine (optional)
2 tbsp	cream cheese (Boursin with garlic and herbs)
2 tbsp	freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or more if you like
handful	fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp	butter
1 tbsp	olive oil
	salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Bring the stock to a boil (or water with stock cubes), then pour the stock over the mushrooms and allow to soak for approximately 20 minutes.

Heat the oil and butter in a pan over a medium heat. When the butter has melted sauté the onions. Once softened add the rice, stir for a couple of minutes and make sure it doesn’t stick to the pan.

When the mushrooms have softened, pour the stock with the mushrooms slowly over the rice while stirring. Add the wine if using. Bring to the boil, then let it simmer for 20 minutes or until all liquid is soaked up. Stir continuously to free any grains from sticking to the saucepan. If too sticky, add a few tablespoons of water.

Stir in the fresh parsley and the cheeses. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
