Mushroom Risotto

MUSHROOM-RISOTTOIngredients

6 cups vegetable stock
3 tbs olive oil, divided
4 cups sliced mushrooms
2 shallots, diced
1 & 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tbs finely chopped chives
2 tbs vegan margarine

Method

Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and their liquid, and set aside. Lower heat to medium-low heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 minutes.
When the rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup stock to the rice, and stir until the stock is absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the mushrooms, margarine and chives.
