Add the wine and start the cooking time, 18 minutes by the packet; let the wine evaporate.
Wine, then stock a little at a time
Add vegetable stock a little at a time, just covering the rice, stirring constantly on low heat and adding more as it dries.
  • water
With three minutes to go, stir in the mushrooms, keeping some for the plates; add a little stock and then water as needed to keep it moist.
Adding the mushrooms
Taste for al dente; take off the heat.
Checking for al dente
Off the heat stir in 50 grams of soft butter and a generous amount of parmigiano until creamy.
Finishing with butter and cheese
Plate, shaking the plate from underneath to spread it; top with the reserved mushrooms and chopped parsley.
