As I mentioned in the plain risotto post, the possibilities are endless. Here is one of the easier variations – mushroom risotto.
Plain risotto
Risotto is always a crowd pleaser at my dinner parties. The downside is that it takes a while to prepare. But there is a trick how to prepare it in advance and just finish it in 5 min before serving – so that you don’t have to miss half the conversation around your dinner table.
