In the first place, let me tell you that the risotto is with no doubt one of the most popular Italian dishes. There are a lot of variations in making risotto, but because I love porcini, I usually make this risotto with mushrooms.
The best Italian recipes can absolutely offer a lot of best recipes of risotto. The risotto with mushrooms is my favorite as it is really full of flavor with only a couple of ingredients.
As you may know already, risotto is a dish where the rice instead of being boiled, is actually cooked in a pan. I first tried this risotto with mushrooms recipe when I was visiting Milan, and I simply felt in love with it! I love any kind of mushrooms, and use it quite much, even making other Italian recipes (follow me on social, and you will be the first to find them out!) 🙂
The cooking time of this risotto takes approximately 20-30 min. It depends on the rice you use. If I had to buy rice specifically for risotto with mushrooms, I would go for the one that is thicker. It may take a bit longer to make, yet be sure it is better for risotto.
My good friend likes the risotto with mushrooms with sausage or meat. I do too, yet I usually make this one. By the way, I love onion so I put a lot in this risotto too. Oh and herbs, I love them! So not only for garnish, but also to mix when still in the pan. Well, you have the base, the rest is your immagination and creativity. Let me know what you like adding to your risotto with mushrooms!
