Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat the broth over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Keep it on low heat while you prepare the risotto.
2. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
3. Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir until the rice is coated with the butter and onion mixture.
4. Pour in the white wine and stir until it is absorbed by the rice.
5. Add the sliced mushrooms and stir until they are cooked.
6. Begin adding the hot broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.
7. Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is cooked and has a creamy texture. This should take about 20 minutes.
8. Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the grated Toblach Stangenkäse cheese until it is melted and fully incorporated.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
