Directions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a very large frying pan. Add the rice and sauté it gently for about 3 - 4 minutes, until it looks glossy.
  2. Add the onion, leek and pepper and cook gently, stirring often, for a few more minutes.
  3. Add the wine to the frying pan and allow it to bubble up, then cook gently until it has been absorbed, stirring frequently.
  4. Ladle about one quarter of the stock into the rice, stir, then let the rice simmer gently until the liquid has been absorbed.
  5. Add the mushrooms to the risotto with another ladleful of stock. Cook gently, adding more stock as needed until the rice is tender, it will take about 20 - 25 minutes to cook in total.
