Steps:
- Heat the stock and ladle 2 cups into a medium bowl. Add dried mushrooms and let soak for 20 minutes, then drain, reserving the liquid. Pour liquid through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth or paper towels to catch any grit. Add mushroom liquid back to warm stock. Keep stock heated over medium heat. Pat soaked mushrooms dry and saute in a large skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened. Add rice and cook, stirring, until the rice becomes translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add vermouth and stir until absorbed by rice. Add warm mushroom stock to rice, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly. All stock must be fully absorbed before the next cup of stock is added. After about 20 minutes, the rice should be tender but not mushy, it should have a creamy texture. Add more stock if needed. Fold in Sauteed mushrooms, Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Let stand for a minute before serving. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.
CREAMY MUSHROOM RISOTTO
This variation on mushroom risotto includes cream of mushroom soup for the creamy taste, without actually using heavy cream. A light hand is recommended with the thyme and basil. If you like, stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving.

Steps:
- Place dried mushrooms into a small bowl, and cover with hot water; soak 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and gently squeeze dry with paper towels. Chop mushrooms, and set aside.
- Scoop cream of mushroom soup into a bowl, and gradually stir in boiling water until mixture is smooth but not runny.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the stock to a gentle simmer.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion, garlic, and chopped mushrooms; cook about 3 minutes. Gradually stir in rice; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly to coat rice with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in thyme and basil to taste.
- Pour in the mushroom soup mixture, stirring until absorbed. Gradually add 1/3 stock, stirring until liquid is absorbed. Continue to stir in stock gradually, 1 cup at a time, allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding another cup. It should take about 20 minutes for all the stock to be absorbed and the rice becomes al dente (tender but firm to the bite).

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Look for fresh, flavorful mushrooms, a good quality Arborio rice, and a flavorful broth.
- Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking it helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Cook the risotto slowly: Risotto is a slow-cooked dish. It takes time for the rice to absorb the broth and develop its creamy texture.
- Stir the risotto frequently: Stirring the risotto helps to prevent it from sticking to the pan and ensures that it cooks evenly.
- Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the broth at once. Add it in small batches, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is a key ingredient in risotto. Choose a broth that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in the dish.
- Add vegetables or other ingredients: Risotto is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add vegetables, such as peas, asparagus, or zucchini, or other ingredients, such as shrimp, chicken, or sausage.
- Finish the risotto with butter and cheese: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some butter and Parmesan cheese. This will help to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
Conclusion:
Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious risotto at home. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give risotto a try!
