Mushroom Risotto Mushroom Risotto
This is a very good and delicious dish. But....it's not fast food. Be prepared to stand there and stir the rice for about 20 minutes (a few minutes more more if you use more rice!). But you'll be rewarded with a most delicious, silky smooth rice dish!! PaulN -

This is my favorite vegetarian risotto. The peas add color, sweetness, and protein. But it’s fine without peas, too.#GlobalApron #dinner #meal Ricardo -

Zucchini Risotto Zucchini Risotto
Risotto is not hard to make, it's not even extremely time consuming, you just have to be able to give it 20 minutes or so of constant attention. Such a delicious dish that's worth standing in one spot stirring constantly for a while. Lol. My husband likes the "ultra soft" zucchini I mention so that is what you see pictured. StephieCanCook -
Basic Risotto Basic Risotto
Risotto is one of those basic dishes that is great to have in your back pocket for quick dinners, and using up leftovers. Once you have the basic technique mastered, you can make it as fancy or as casual as you like.TIPS: The basic ratio for risotto is 1 part uncooked rice to 3.5 parts liquid. This will include your stock, wine and any additional liquid you are using. Keep an additional 0.5 parts liquid in reserve, as various rices absorb slightly different amounts of liquid.Most risotto recipes call for wine and stock as the liquid, but you can also make "stock" on the fly with dried mushrooms and aromatics such as carrots and celery, added at the beginning of the process with the onions.A little fat added at the end in the form of butter and/or a bit of grated hard cheese will really help give a creamy finish to your risotto.
