I made this for the first time today and I will definitely make it again. I used dried wild mushrooms and reconstituted them in boiled water and used this as the mushroom stock. This gave the risotto a distinct mushroom taste.
I tripled this recipe to make it for a large crowd at Christmas dinner. It just felt like it needed *something* in terms of flavor – it tasted a little bland. I added black truffle oil and mixed that in just before serving and that made ALL the difference in the world.
One of my favorites. I like to eat a salad with this so my meal isn’t so starchy.
