                    This is a combination of a few different risotto recipes since I couldn't find one that was exactly what I wanted. I wanted to remember how I put this together so next time I make it I won't have to guess! Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                4 cups chicken broth  |  
                                                1 tablespoon butter  |  
                                                8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, sliced  |  
                                                1 tablespoon olive oil  |  
                                                1/2 cup onion, chopped  |  
                                                2 garlic cloves, minced  |  
                                                1 1/4 cups arborio rice  |  
                                                1/2 cup dry white wine  |  
                                                1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated  |  
                                                2 fresh thyme sprigs  |  
                                                pepper  |  
                                                chives, chopped (optional)  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Heat chicken broth to a boil, reduce to simmer, and keep hot. 2. In a separate pan, melt butter and saute mushrooms until soft. 3. Add olive oil to pan and saute onions for 4 minutes. 4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. 5. Add rice to pan and cook for about 2 minutes. 6. Stir in wine. Cook and stir until liquid is absorbed. 7. Gradually add chicken broth 1 cup at a time, stirring and cooking until liquid is absorbed before adding the next cup. (This will take 25-30 minutes until rice is fully cooked). 8. Stir in parmesan cheese, cooked mushrooms, and thyme leaves. 9. Season with pepper, sprinkle with chives, and serve.                              |
