This is my virginal journey into making a mushroom risotto, but the results were good, so I’m happy to share. I’m used to making basmati rice, where you don’t have to watch the pot too much and found the process very laborious, however when you take your first bite, you can taste the love and patience(or impatience), and it’s totally worth the constant stirring. I used some leftover Lobster stock courtesy of a recent Lobster fest but you can use stock of any kind, homemade or pre prepared.
