Method
- Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed saucepan to a medium heat before adding the diced shallots and garlic. Next add the sliced mushrooms with a little salt and continue cooking on medium for another 5-7 minutes. Stir in the tarragon.
- Once the shallots and mushroom are soft add in the rice and stir before pouring in half the stock. Continue cooking until the stock is absorbed
- Ladle in the remainder of the stock and the milk and continue cooking for a further 10 minutes, check to see if the risotto is cooked, it should be al dente as the rice will continue to cook in its own heat.
