Flavorful Mushroom Risotto

Not for the dietetic! The chantarelle's are delicious in this risotto but a combination of any or all make it wonderful. Delish! This was adapted from an adapted recipe in saveur magazine.

Steps

Make sure you only wipe the mushrooms clean.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms and saute about 5 minutes.
Add cognac , bring to a boil , and reduce liquid by 1 / 2 , about 3-4 minutes.
Lower heat to medium.
Add cream , and simmer 5 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
Bring stock to simmer in a saucepan.
In a deep , heavy , medium sized saucepan , heat oil and remaining butter.
Add shallots or onions and cook until soft , about 2 minutes.
Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Add rice and stir to coat with butter an oil.
Add simmering stock , 1 / 2 cup at a time , stirring enough to keep the rice from sticking to the edges of the pan.
Wait until the stock is almost completely absorbed before adding the next 1 / 2 cup.
This process will take about 20 minutes.
The rice should be just cooked and slightly chewy.
Stir in cashews or almonds , mushroom mixture and the freshly grated parmesan cheese.
