2. In a frying pan, heat a tsp of olive oil with a tsp of butter over medium-low heat. Add the mushrooms and gently fry for a few minutes before adding the garlic, thyme, a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to cook for a minute. Transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.
3. Return the pan to heat with a tsp of olive oil, a tsp of butter and lower the heat to low. Add the celery and onion and gently cook for a few minutes until softened and translucent not browned.
4. Stir in the rice with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to stir for a few minutes until the rice becomes translucent around the edges.
5. Add ¼ cup of the stock with the peas to the rice and stir, allowing the stock to be absorbed before adding the next 1/4 of a cup of stock, stirring continuously. Continue to add/stir until the stock is all used. This will take about 15 minutes. The rice is ready when soft but with a slight bite. If you run out of stock before the rice is cooked, add some boiling water.
6. Add the mushroom mixture with ¾ of the grated cheese and gently mix to combine. Season with a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve the risotto in a bowl with the remaining cheese sprinkled over the top and a drizzle of olive oil.
