- Continue adding stock 1 cup at a time and stirring regularly until you have used almost all of the stock.
- Add the mushrooms back into the skillet, the last bit of stock.
- Check the rice (it should be al dente - not mushy).

Notes
- Use a wine you like to drink, or just use extra stock.
- Experiment with different herb combinations - tarragon, sage, chives, oregano and thyme all pair very well with mushrooms.
