### Instructions
#### STEP 1
Put 50g dried porcini mushrooms into a large [bowl](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-mixing-bowls) and pour over 1 litre [boiling water](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-clever-kettles). Soak for 20 mins, then [drain](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-colanders) into a bowl, discarding the last few tbsp of liquid left in the bowl.
#### STEP 2
Crumble 1 vegetable stock cube into the mushroom liquid, then squeeze the mushrooms gently to remove any liquid.
#### STEP 3
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow [saucepan](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/five-best-saucepans) or deep [frying pan](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-non-stick-frying-pans) over a medium flame. Add 1 finely chopped onion and 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, then fry for about 5 mins until soft.
#### STEP 4
Stir in 250g chopped chestnut mushrooms and the dried mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for 8 mins until the fresh mushrooms have softened.
#### STEP 5
Tip 300g risotto rice into the pan and cook for 1 min. Pour over a 175ml glass of white wine and let it bubble to nothing so the alcohol evaporates.
#### STEP 6
Keep the pan over a medium heat and pour in a quarter of the mushroom stock. Simmer the rice, stirring often, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
#### STEP 7
Add about the same amount of stock again and continue to simmer and stir - it should start to become creamy, plump and tender. By the time the final quarter of stock is added, the rice should be almost cooked.
#### STEP 8
Continue stirring until the rice is cooked. If the rice is still undercooked, add a splash of water. Take the pan off the heat, add 25g butter and scatter over 25g grated parmesan or Grana Padano [cheese](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-graters) and half a handful of chopped parsley leaves.
#### STEP 9
Cover and leave for a few mins so that the rice can take up any excess liquid as it cools a bit. Give the risotto a final stir, spoon into bowls and scatter with the remaining 25g grated cheese and the remaining chopped parsley leaves.
