Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 purple onion, diced
1/2 cup button mushrooms, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 cup sweet white wine
4 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:
Sauté the rice in the olive oil in a large pan for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the onion, mushrooms, bay leaf and wine. As the rice cooks, add the chicken broth one cup at a time, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. Add a little more broth, if needed, before the rice is tender, a total of about 25 minutes. When the rice is cooked, just prior to serving, stir in the cheese and sprinkle with parsley. Serve right away. Serves 6.
