- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until just soft, but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup wine and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add rice and stir and cook until it begins to turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in thyme. Scrape rice and onion mixture into slow-cooker. (Set skillet aside and do not wash.) Turn slow-cooker to high and add broth. Cover and cook on high until tender and moist but not soupy, about 1 3/4 hours to 2 1/2 hours.
- Meanwhile, using the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil and butter together over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid, about 4 minutes. Add remaining 1/4-cup wine and stir and cook another minute or two to allow some of the wine to evaporate. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, before placing the mushrooms in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and refrigerate. Just before rice is done, remove mushrooms from refrigerator and microwave, uncovered on high, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Uncover the risotto and stir in the half and half, parmesan, salt and pepper to taste. Top with the heated mushrooms and sprinkle top with chopped parsley.

GOURMET MUSHROOM RISOTTO
Authentic Italian-style risotto cooked the slow and painful way, but oh so worth it. Complements grilled meats and chicken dishes very well. Check the rice by biting into it. It should be slightly al dente (or resist slightly to the tooth but not be hard in the center).

SLOW-COOKER DIJON CHICKEN WITH BARLEY AND MUSHROOMS
This glossy, risottolike dish is inspired by the French bistro classic of chicken in tarragon-mustard sauce. Here, those flavors are transformed into a whole-grain, one-pot weeknight meal: The barley, mushrooms and chicken cook together first, then just before eating, finish with a bag of frozen peas and a tangy mixture of crème fraîche (or sour cream) and Dijon. Make the dish vegetarian by omitting the chicken and using your favorite vegetable broth, but add about ½ cup more liquid, to substitute for the chicken juices.

Steps:
- In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the barley, mushrooms, chicken, chicken broth, lemon juice, white wine, garlic, thyme, salt, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine, then cook for 3 hours on high.
- At first it will seem like there is too much liquid, but the dish will thicken as it cools, and as you stir. Stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through, about 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together the crème fraîche and mustard, then fold it into the barley mixture. The chicken thighs should be falling apart; break them into coarse chunks with a spatula. Taste and add more mustard for a stronger flavor, if desired. Stir in the chopped tarragon and serve. Pass Parmesan at the table for topping.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for gourmet mushrooms that are firm and have a deep color.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you add too many ingredients, the risotto will not cook evenly. Follow the recipe's instructions carefully and add the ingredients in the order specified.
- Stir the risotto occasionally: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker. Stir gently so as not to break up the rice grains.
- Add the cheese and butter at the end: This will help to create a creamy, flavorful risotto. Stir until the cheese is melted and the butter is incorporated.
- Serve immediately: Risotto is best served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it gently over low heat, stirring constantly.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker risotto is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a gourmet meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this slow cooker risotto recipe a try.
