  • 1 small onion

  • 1/3 pound field mushrooms

  • 1 cup dry white wine

Melt  half the butter in heavy pan and sauté onion until transparent not brown.  Slice mushrooms and add to pan.  Pour in wine and cook until almost evaporated.  Add rice and continue cooking until rice begins to change color.
Add ½ cup of stock.  Cook until absorbed.  Add another ½ cup and continue
