Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth divided
- 3 tablespoon olive oil divided

- 1½ cups Arborio rice
- ½ cup dry white wine
- sea salt to taste

Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

- Remove the mushrooms and their liquid and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and stir in the shallots. Cook for 1 minute.
