In a large pan, add butter, onion, garlic, shallot, celery and mushrooms. Cook until clear.
Add rice and cook until the edges look clear. Next, add the wine and cook until it’s absorbed into the rice/veggie mixture.
Add the chicken stock, a few cups at a time, and cook until absorbed, stirring constantly. Add more stock and repeat until all stock is incorporated. Rice should be creamy.
Add in chestnuts and Parmesan cheese and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
