Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 2-3 cups chicken stock to a boil. Maintain this low boil while cooking the entire dish.
  2. In a larger pot, add 1/2 tbsp margarine and 1 tbsp olive oil. Bring to a medium heat and add chopped onion, celery, mushrooms, and apple, and minced garlic, stirring well to prevent browning.
  3. Note: If using canned mushrooms, wait to add until half-way through the broth process in step 6.
  4. Add arborio rice to the pot and stir until well coated and somewhat translucent, dropping the heat to medium-low.
  5. Squeeze in lemon juice and add a few splashes of vinegar, continuing to stir until both are absorbed into the rice. Toss in a pinch of salt.
  6. Begin adding boiling stock to the pot, one cup at a time, slowly and firmly stirring the rice mixture, working the starches from the rice. Only add additional stock once the previous ladle-full has been absorbed. (15-30 minutes)
  7. Once rice has reached a texture slightly softer than al dente, and the appearance has become thick and creamy, remove pot from heat.
  8. Stir in cheeses and remaining 1/2 tbsp of margarine, then cover and let rest for about 2 minutes.
  9. Serve garnished with a dash of thyme, and always with a crisp salad to help cut the richness.
