>> so risotto, it's an italian potato -- >> rice. this is sort of a creamier dish, really delicious. we will top it with a nice salad and crisp mushrooms and i think it will work out really well for you. >> it's going to lump together -- >> it's not supposed to lump together. >> steve taught me how to prep the veggies, mushrooms first. >> 450 degree oven and cook them until they get a nice color. >> he taught me how to chop. >> keep the point down on to the board and just lift up the back. >> don't put your hand that way? >> yes. >> okay. >> then we got dried mushrooms into hot vegetable stock. >> those dried mushrooms will flavor the stock and rehydrate, and we will take that stock and put it back with the rest of the vegetable stock and have a mushroom fortified stock. >> then a big moment for me. i tasted my very first mushroom. it's actually very good.

>> it's actually very good. of course it's good. >> this new thing they call mushroomed, i'm loving it. >> we have our rice, and half of our onion chopped and our crispy mushrooms cooked. we have our hydrated, dry mushrooms and a little white wine we will use to cook this and some butter and some cheese. >> next we added the butter, oil and onions to the pan. >> then we will add the rice. we want to cook that until it gets nice and toasty, and then we will add about a cup of wine. >> look at me, mom. i'm cooking. >> you do the plop and the sizzle -- >> you have to stop it with the plop. that's not sexy cooking. >> we have the stock and we will add a ladle and half at a time. >> i hope you like stirring because there's a lot of stirring. >> you put these guys in here, the hydrated mushrooms, some salt. >> after all that stirring -- >> it's cooked.

>> i learned -- i know what i could have done better, but i brought a clip here if you want to show that. >> you learned the error of your ways? >> i did. >> the mushrooms are done. oh, that oil shooting up in my face, nice. what i was told was i need to wait for it to be translucent, so what i will do first is look up translucent, because i think it definitely needs salt. just kind of make it rain for a while. oh, yeah. plop test. just a coincidence that last week i took out an insurance policy on her. no big deal. what do you think? >> it's good. i like it. uh-huh. >> that's love. >> that is. was it good? >> she was able to describe the whole dish in one word, good. >> okay. >> and the nod. good. sometimes it's really hard,

because i cook sometimes, sometimes, enough to keep myself alive and i would think that's a hard dish. di.well, it's a time consuming if you are like me, where time is very important and could be used watching tv and lounging around, to me, you could dial the phone and have the food delivered by then, but it was definitely a great experiment. i hope to cook a little more. >> you need to cook more, because remind the people if they don't know what you like to eat? >> i pretty much eat off the kids' menu. i'm really basic. it's fast-food and chicken. >> that's fine. >> risotto, that's the first time i ever heard of it. >> i was chopping up garlic the other day, and i have to be in the mood to cook. i do it a couple times a week. and does anybody else when they chop garlic think of "good fellas?" it's so thin and it melts. >> that's funny. you think i'm funny? you think i'm here for your

amusement? >> oh, don't. >> we will post the link to the recipe on our facebook page. >> thanks to chris. >> we will post the link to the recipe on our facebook page. >> thanks to chris.
