Mushroom Risotto with Peas

In a large skillet heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic; cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly browned and liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally. Stir in rice; cook and stir for 1 minute more. Transfer rice mixture to a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Stir in broth, wine, and pepper.

Cover and cook on low-heat setting about 2 3/4 hours or on high-heat setting about 1 1/4 hours or until rice is tender. If possible, remove crockery liner from cooker. Stir in peas. If desired, top with cheese and/or parsley. Serve immediately.
