Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 medium onion -- chopped
6 tbsp. butter
2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
5 cups broth -- chicken or vegetable
1 oz. dried mushrooms -- shiitake or porcini
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. butter -- for flavor


Place the onion and butter in a large microwave bowl, uncovered, on HIGH for 3 minutes, or until the butter melts and the onion softens. Stir in the rice and microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 3 minutes, or until the rice begins to turn translucent.

Stir in the wine, broth, salt and cover, and microwave on HIGH for 12-15 minutes depending on the wattage of your microwave or until boiling.

Remove the cover, add the hydrated mushrooms, stir and continue to microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 10 minutes more, or until the rice is cooked through but still chewy.

Add a little butter, stir and microwave for another 2 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese, the rest of the butter and serve right away.
