							 Method Mushroom Stock
      Combine all of the ingredients in a stockpot and bring to the boil. Cook rapidly for 1 hour.     Taste the stock. If satisfied the mushrooms have imparted enough flavor and colour, remove from the heat and strain.     Pour the stock back into the stockpot and reduce by one-third.     The stock can be stored in the freezer for future use.
    Risotto Base
      Heat the chicken stock in a pan     In a heavy based pan add the olive oil and heat     Add the onion and cook with out color until soft and translucent     Add the risotto rice and cook for a couple of minutes to crack the rice grains     Add the white wine and cook until completely reduced     Add the chicken stock and cook in the middle of the stoves for five minutes     Remove from the stove and place thinly on a tray and chill immediately     Once cool store in the fridge until required
    Acid Butter
      Combine the white wine, vinegar, onion, thyme and bay leaf in a saucepan and reduce liquid by four-fifths.     Only a small amount of liquid should remain     Gradually whisk in the butter to create a beurre blanc-butter style sauce     Pass through a fine sieve into an airtight container and place in a refrigerator to set until firm, about 1 ½ hours
    To Serve
      Heat the mushroom stock in a heavy-based saucepan over low heat     Place the risotto in a pan and add a ladle of the mushroom stock     Cook until all the stock has been absorbed, stirring constantly to prevent the rice from sticking     Add another ladle of stock     Continue to add stock until the rice is cook to al dente     Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, acid butter     Season with salt, pepper and tarragon     Ladle the risotto in to the center of the plate     Shave black truffle over the risotto and serve immediately
