Method:

- In 4 qt sauce pan add olive oil (make sure pan is not smoking hot) then add the rice, toast until slightly golden then add onions and garlic.
- Stir ingredients together until onions are slightly translucent.
- Stir in the wine, bay leaf and salt and keep stirring until wine has reduced by half.
- Then stir in mushroom stock 4oz at a time while stirring constantly when stock reduces by half add another 4 oz. Repeat this until rice in past al dente.
- Then stir in reserved mushrooms, corn, and cheese. Keep adding stock and stirring at same time.
- Finish with peas and butter and adjust with salt if needed.
