Simple chicken and mushroom risotto step by step

1. Fry onion in a little oil or butter (I used the oil from the homemade chicken stock).
2. Add mushrooms. Fry a little..
3. Add rice and 2 cups stock, a little salt(only a little at first as cheese and worcestershire sauce will also add saltiness!), pepper, worcestershire sauce and herbs to taste and bring to boil whilst stirring..
4. Keep adding a ladle of stock and cooking down till stock is used up and rice is cooked (this may take 15 minutes). Add extra water if rice is still not done to your liking..
5. Crumble up some cheese into the risotto, and stir through till melted. Check seasoning..
6. Enjoy! Eat by itself or with a little green salad. It's comfort in a bowl! :).
