1 large shallot, chopped finely
4 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
10 ounces arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
8 ounces plum tomatoes, skinned, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

In a large saucepan sauté the shallots with the olive oil for about 3 to 4 minutes and then add the mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently until softened.
Stir in the rice and cook for another minute or two. Add the wine, stir and cook until absorbed. Pour in a quarter of the chicken broth, bring to a boil and cook until absorbed, stirring frequently.
Gradually stir in the rest of the broth over a period of about 15 minutes, adding more as each previous amount is absorbed. This helps to give you a creamy risotto.
When the rice is al dente, mix in the tomatoes and herbs. Check the seasoning and stir in the cheeses. Serve in warmed bowls topped with shaved aged Parmesan.
