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, especially the porcini mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan will provide the best flavor.
- Soak the porcini mushrooms in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will soften them and release their flavor.
- Toast the rice in a little butter before adding the liquid. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking together and becoming clumpy.
- Cook the risotto until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. It should not be mushy.
- Stir in the porcini mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and butter just before serving. This will help to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
- Garnish the risotto with additional Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
