PORCINI AND PARMESAN RISOTTO
We found risotto only needs occasional stirring to cook up creamy; adding broth in large batches cuts down on fuss. Cook the rice until al dente -- you don't want it too soft.

PORCINI AND PARMESAN RISOTTO
I've never made risotto, and usually don't order it when I'm in a restaurant because I always try to eat protein and veggies as opposed to a plate of carbs like pasta or rice. However, I was CRAVING carbs and decided to venture into the unknown world of risotto making. I've heard it's not difficult to make, just time consuming...

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Look for fresh, flavorful mushrooms, a creamy, flavorful cheese, and a good quality stock.
- Toast the rice: This step helps to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy. Be sure to toast the rice until it is golden brown.
- Add the liquid gradually: Don't dump all of the liquid into the rice at once. Add it in small batches, stirring constantly, so that the rice has a chance to absorb the liquid and cook evenly.
- Stir constantly: This is essential for preventing the risotto from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning. Stir the risotto constantly, especially during the first few minutes of cooking.
- Cook the risotto until it is creamy and tender: The risotto should be cooked until it is creamy and tender, but still has a slight bite to it. This usually takes about 18-20 minutes.
- Season the risotto to taste: Once the risotto is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and additional grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best served immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.
