Servings: persons

3 tablespoons butter
3 cups diced mushrooms
salt to taste
1/2 yellow onion, diced
ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup carnaroli rice
2 cups chicken broth, divided
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Melt butter in large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; season with salt, and cook and stir mushrooms until brown. They will begin browning after the moisture evaporates.
3
Reduce heat to medium and stir in onion. Sprinkle with black pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until onions are translucent and soft.
4
Pour rice into skillet and stir until each rice grain is coated with butter. Season with salt.
5
Pour 1 cup chicken broth into the rice mixture. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring rice until liquid is completely absorbed by the rice.
6
Pour another cup chicken stock into the rice and stir until mixture comes to a simmer.
7
Bake in preheated oven until grains are almost tender but still slightly firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer skillet to stovetop. Season with more salt, if necessary.
8
Combine the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth and cream; pour into the skillet. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until rice is tender, 1 or 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
9
Drizzle 2 tablespoons cream over rice. Add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and chives; stir. Serve immediately.
