Preparation
In medium saucepan, combine chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil. Cover with lid and turn off heat.
In large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat and sauté mushrooms, onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook 1 minute.
Gradually add stock-wine liquid by 1 cup (250 mL) amounts while constantly stirring. Cook until rice is tender but still slight firm, about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. If serving immediately, stir in Cheddar and Parmesan cheese and parsley
