It's very cold (-22), snowing and windy today. We wanted something warming and filling for lunch and this really hit the spot. I put the dried mushies in a pot with the water and brought it up to a simmer, put on a lid and let it stand (off heat) for 30 mins then roughly chopped them. The cognac was omitted and I stirred 1 tbsp of parm into the risotto before removing it from the heat. SO good, a bowl of this and a cup of tea made a perfect lunch.

Combined this one with No Zee French Rice Pilaf for one Fantabulous creation to add to our French Dinner tonight! Skipped (almost wrote "sipped") the cognac, but would like to try that NEXT TIME--can only imagine how GREAT that would be! Mmm... Made for ZWT 3 French Region

Fail-proof risotto! I've always been intimidated by risotto recipes and this takes the fear out of it. I skipped the parmesan cheese as I don't think it needed it. This is very savory, warm and comforting. In the future I would like to try this recipe again by adding the broth 1 cup at a time (and constantly stirring and watching it), instead of the liquid all at once. This is a keeper. Thanks for taking the fear out of making risotto!

My first try making risotto though I've had porcini risotto before. This was creamy, earthy, flavorful and I skipped the cognac as well. My daughter thinks I'm a genius - even though we both know I tipped the hand with the broth - but scooped some out for gravy and the risotto still was perfect. A pre-teen says THANKS!
