1 onion 1
1 tbsp Lactantia Butter 15 mL
1 garlic clove, minced 1
1-1/4 cups short-grain rice 500 mL
1 cup finely chopped button mushroom 250 mL
1/2 cup dry white wine 125 mL
1/4 tsp each salt & hot red pepper flakes 1 mL
10 oz can undiluted chicken broth 284 mL
2-1/2 cups water 625 mL
1/2 cup Lactantia Ultra Spreadable Light Cream Cheese 125 mL
1/4 cup chopped parsley (optional) 50 mL
1/4 cup freshly grated Black Diamond Parmesan (optional) 50 mL

PREPARATION
 

  1. Finely chop onion. Place butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When melted, add chopped onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until onions are soft, from 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Stir in rice until evenly coated. While constantly stirring, add mushrooms, white wine, salt and pepper flakes. Keep stirring frequently until wine is absorbed.
  3. Gradually stir in chicken broth, about a 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time. Stir frequently until most of the broth is absorbed before adding the next half-cup. Once that has been absorbed, add water, half a cup at a time, stirring until almost all liquid is absorbed before adding more. Stop adding once rice is tender and creamy, from 25 to 30 minutes.
  4. Stir in small spoonfuls of Lactantia Ultra Spreadable Light Cream Cheese, mixing well until all the cheese is used. Sprinkle with Black Diamond Parmesan and chopped parsley, if using.
