Directions:
Pour 2/3 cup hot water over porcini in a heatproof cup and let stand until softened, about 10 minutes.

Heat 1 Tablespoon butter in a heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then saute porcini. Add reserved soaking liquid to skillet and boil, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add wine and simmer, stirring constantly, until absorbed.
Stir in 1/2 cup simmering broth mixture and cook at a strong simmer, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition become absorbed before adding the next, until rice is tender but still al dente
