Mushroom & Chard Risotto

I'm sorry to hit you with two chard recipes in a row.   I know it's not very imaginative - my only excuse is that we got a big ol' bag of chard in our weekly veg box delivery, and we needed to put a serious dent in it before it started multiplying, bullying all the other vegetables and turning our fridge into Kingdom of the Chard.

This is essentially this dish, with the peas removed and some chard thrown in.  It's actually a delicious addition - it keeps its colour and flavour when cooked, so it brightens up the rice and provides a nice bite to each mouthful. 

Here's an action shot:

Look at that!  The white of the rice, the brown of the mushrooms, and the green of the chard - so beautiful!  It could be a painting.  (Almost).
