MUSHROOM RISOTTO

HI!! TODAY MY DAUGHTER WAS KEEN ON SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY RELUCTANT TO MAKE AS IVE EATEN IT MANY A TIMES BUT HAVE NEVER REALLY MADE IT BEFORE....MUSHROOM RISOTTO. I REALLY HAD NO IDEA HOW THIS WOULD TURN OUT BUT GAVE IT A SHOT ANYWAY. SOMEHOW RISOTTO IS ONE OF THOSE DISHES THAT WE LOVE TO EAT BUT DONT MAKE IT TOO OFTEN...IT TAKES ABOUT 25 MINUTES OF CAREFUL STIRRING AND EVERY FEW MINUTES ADDING A BIT OF HOT STOCK TO THE RICE, AS THE RICE SLOWLY ABSORBS THE LIQUID ITS IN.LUCKILY FOR ME,IT TURNED OUT FABULOUS.....INSPIRED BY VERNAZ S RECIPE,I MADE A FEW MODIFICATIONS AND CHURNED OUT A REALLY GOOD RISOTTO.... THE RICE WAS NOT A BIG MUSH WHICH WAS SOMETHING I WAS REALLY SCARED ABOUT...THE MUSHROOM TASTE WAS REALLY NICE AND SUPTLE AND THE CHEESE ADDED A BIG AMOUNT OF FLAVOR TOP THIS DISH.....IM POSTING THE EXACT RECIPE BELOW AND DO LET ME KNOW IF IT TURNED OUT OK FOR YOU...HERE GOES THE RECIPE......
