Al: The two most important things about making risotto are using good quality arborio rice and the stirring! I use Rice Select arborio rice which is readily available in most supermarkets, in a clear plastic 36 oz. container. All of their rices are tasty!!

5.5 cups of chicken broth (Al uses Progresso)
0.5 cup milk or cream
S&P
0.75-1 cup grated parmesan cheese

0.5 container of sliced white mushrooms

In medium pot (5 quarts or so), saute onion in the oil and butter for about 5-6 minutes over medium heat
