Mushroom Risotto

I have a friend who recommended the use of a food cream that consists of  mushroom and fried onion. I decided to try it in this risotto recipe and if you enjoy the taste of mushrooms feel free to try this. Ingredients: 2 dl risotto rice 1 vegetable stock cube 1 onion 1 whole one clove garlic 1 teaspoon of black pepper 1 can of mushroom (or a hand full of fresh ones). 2 tablespoons of butter 1 table spoon of white wine tomatoes for decoration 1. Put the stock cube in a pan and add enough water to let it dissolve. 2. Add more water and let it boil. Pour in the rice, butter and black pepper. 3. Let it simmer until the water has absorbed. 4. Cut up the onions and mushrooms and pour in the risotto. 5. You can add the white wine in to add some flavor to the dish. 6. The last stage is to add the flavored cream.
