Mushroom Risotto

Although risotto can be a little time consuming, it’s so worth it! It’s not complicated, it just requires attention as you need to slowly stir in the stock, let it absorb, stir in some more and repeat until it’s tender. I used Baby Bella (crimini) mushrooms, but you can use portobella, porcini, shiitake, white button or a combination of all four. If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, try this Asparagus Risotto, Butternut Squash Risotto, Creamy or these Seared Scallops over wilted Spinach and Parmesan Risotto.
