BAKED WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a large cast-iron or saute pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, leek, onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes until tender and slightly brown.
• Add the rice and cook until the kernels are well coated with the oil and mushrooms, about 2 minutes. Add wine, balsamic vinegar, broth and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil and then remove from heat.
• Transfer the mixture to a deep 9x13-inch baking dish. Wrap the top tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes until the rice is tender but al dente.
• Remove baking dish from oven and add the Parmesan and sage. Stir. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Serve immediately.
