Let's cut right to the chase:

- finishers

- 1 T butter
- 1/2 c parmesan cheese
instructions
- Sauté leeks in oil, add tomatoes, cook 5 minutes, add chicken and mushrooms, 2 more

Continue usual risotto 20 minute water absorption phase.
- Finish by removing from heat and adding the butter and freshly grated black pepper and
parmesan cheese.

notes
- This was a quick improvisation [yikes! canned chicken? where did that come from?] but
tasted pretty good. So we did not want to forget it.
