Mushroom Risotto (classic Dishes)

I have a friend who was sent to plant a church in a hostile city, in a neighborhood dominated by sexual perversion. While making the rounds, introducing himself to pastors already serving in the city one pastor warned him that so many others had sought to minister to that demographic, but, the pastor reasoned, they just weren’t reachable. My friend, though he had served in the special forces, and could well be Chuck Norris’s younger brother, broke down in tears. He explained to the pastor, “If the gospel has no power to save them, it has no power to save me.”

INSTRUCTIONS

Pick over the mushrooms, carefully, making sure they are clean and
free of any forest debris.  Put the onion, garlic and rosemary into a
large heavy bottomed  saucepan with half the butter. Fry gently
together until the onion is  soft. Add the cleaned, chopped mushrooms
and stir together  thoroughly. Cook the mushrooms until just soft.  Add
the white wine and stir. Wait for the alcohol fumes to boil off,  then
add the rice and seasoning and begin the cooking process, adding  a
little hot stock at a time and waiting for the rice to absorb it,
stirring thoroughly each time you add more liquid. Continue this way
until the rice is tender, and all the grains are plump and fluffy.
Remove from the heat, stir in the rest of the butter and cover. Leave
to stand for about 3 minutes before transferring to a warmed platter
and serving. You may offer Parmesan cheese seperately, but if the
mushrooms are really full of flavour, the Parmesan is unnecessary.
