4 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
250g mixed mushrooms 
Handful chopped parsley
1 tbsp olive oil
Zest & juice of 1/2 a lemon 
Salt and black pepper

Method:

1. Finely dice the onion and garlic, and slice the mushrooms
2. Heat 1 tbsp oil on a medium heat, add the garlic and onion and cook until the onion becomes translucent. 
3. Add the rice, and toast for a few minutes, before adding the wine.
4. Once the rice has absorbed the wine, add one ladle worth of the vegetable stock and the lemon juice. Wait until the rice has absorbed the stock, stirring constantly.
5. Add the mushrooms and keep stirring. Season with salt and black pepper. Add another ladle of stock, and stir until the rice has absorbed the stock. Repeat until the rice is al dente, should take about 20-25 minutes.
