Risotto with Gorgonzola and Wild Mushrooms

This dish is excellent with a combination of several different kinds of mushrooms. Wild fresh Chanterelle mushrooms work the best, but they are excellent when used together with Trumpet Royale mushrooms. Try to avoid the white mushrooms commonly sold in grocery stores. They are lacking in both flavor and texture, and have none of the "wild" flavor which chefs tend to look

Ingredients:

2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic, minced fine
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
3 to 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
6 to 8 large fresh Chanterelle mushrooms
2 or 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

Preparation:

Sauté the mushrooms in butter and set them aside.
Chop and sauté the onion and the minced garlic in olive oil and salt. Add the rice to cook lightly and coat with oil - this should take 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat.
Add the white wine, stirring until it is absorbed by the rice. Keep the heat at an even simmer and add the hot broth, 1/2 cup at a time. Stir until the broth is absorbed. This should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
Add the Gorgonzola cheese, stirring constantly as it is added.
Rub the large mushrooms with olive oil and broil them for 5 to 8 minutes on each side. Slice them diagonally and place them on top of the risotto.
Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese and the chopped parsley.
