When the butter has melted add the onions and the garlic, stirring frequently until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and stir the rice, scraping the bottom of the pot to release the caramelized mushroom bits, until the wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd about 1 cup of broth and stir the rice, until the broth is nearly absorbed. As the broth gets absorbed, add more by the ladleful. Stir the rice gently to ensure the broth is evenly absorbed, and the rice does not stick or burn on the bottom. Continue until the rice is al dente, about 20-25 minutes. Depending on the rice, you may need slightly more or less broth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the rice is done, stir in the remaining 2 \u003cspan\u003etbsp\u003c\/span\u003e of butter, Crème Fra\u003cspan\u003eî\u003c\/span\u003eche, grated cheese, and the sautéed mushrooms and asparagus.
