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...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan, combine broth, dried mushrooms and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; cook until mushrooms are tender, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon remove mushrooms; coarsely chop. Strain hot broth through a paper coffee filter (or fine sieve) to remove any grit from mushrooms, return broth to pan keep covered, on low heat.
- 2. In a large saucepan, heat 1 TBL butter over medium-high heat. Add fresh mushrooms and chopped mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, set aside.
- 3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and 1 TBL butter to saucepan. (At this point I also added the finely chopped shallot). Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally 3-5 minutes. Add rice, and cook stirring, about 1 minute. Add wine, and cook, stirring, until absorbed, 1 minute.
- 4. Add 2 C of warm broth to rice mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until absorbed, 4-5 minutes. Continue to add broth, by cupfuls (I just used a ladle) stirring occasionally and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more, until rice is al dente, about 25 minutes total (you may not need all the broth).
- 5. Remove risotto from heat. Stir in Parmesan, remaining TBL butter, and half the sauteed mushrooms; season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with remaining mushrooms, and serve immediately, garnished with more Parmesan.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my risotto turned out too soupy. Maybe I added too much liquid.
