Introduction

Mushroom Risotto

A few days ago I suddenly had a SUPER craving for risotto – and everyone knows a good risotto always has mushrooms! I don’t add chicken stock to mine as the mushrooms and garlic suffice, and also prefer my risotto a little less liquid-y so I add around 600ml of water.
While I also personally prefer just using olive oil and not making my risotto super rich, you can also add cheese to make it creamy! The best part about making your meals at home is that it definitely helps you control the ingredients and portions!
