After all the water evaporates and the mushrooms start to caramelize, add the rice and toast it slightly.
Add the spices and vegetable stock, and with a wooden spoon move the rice gently.
Cook the rice al dente and finish it with whipped heavy cream, this will add some smooth texture and air to the risotto. Add the cheese, adjust salt and pepper to taste, and plate immediately. Do not cook the cheese!
The final texture should be runny but with consistency. Finish it with some olive oil.
