This is recipe I tried 1 day my mom said she never had a risotto dish

I was surprised at how good this turned out. It does take a lot of time and attention but it was worth it.

Famous dish of Italian cuisine achieved by mixing of rice cooked special way and fried mushrooms.

Yum

My company holds a weekly department meeting every Wednesday, and at those meetings there's usually a non-business related roundtable to break the ice. Today's starter topic was favourite foods, which is always a guaranteed hit. Anyway, one of my colleagues named risotto as her top dish, which got me thinking that it's been ages since I cooked up a batch, and I should probably get back to it. Since steak was already on the menu for dinner, I thought mushrooms and spinach would be the perfect accents to feature. Fortunately, in spite of my lack of practice, the risotto turned out perfect. Creamy, rich, slightly al dente, and full of mushroomy goodness. Squisito.

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!!

Risotto is so yummy and delicious :)

I use dried shiitake because the flavor gets intensified during the drying process. It also let's me rehydrate in the warm stock and add some of that flavor to the rice itself. It's creamy and rich enough to stand as a meal on its own or make a great compliment to chicken or steak.
