Stir in the rice and make sure to coat it very well in all the oils. Toast it for a few minutes and stir in the white wine. Once the wine is almost absorbed but not completely evaporated, pour in half of the mushroom stock. Stir well to combine and keep the rice at a gentle simmer. Cover with a tight lid and cook for about ⏱️ 20 minutes until most of the sock has been absorbed. Make sure to stir well a few times to achieve a creamy consistency.
