We really love Risotto with onions and lots & lots of mushrooms!
I like a mixture of shitake, oyster & crimini mushrooms...
some dried & some fresh...
The dried ones (soaked in chicken broth) have a certain cheweyness that works well in risotto...
and parmesean cheese!
It's well worth the work involved... (stir, add broth, stir, add broth... and keep repeating til done!)
Georgia, your recipe sounds wonderful!!!
and lobsters are on sale around here for $5.99/lb. now! (shop-rite)...
and we have a few 2lb. bags of jumbo shrimp in the freezer!
and bay scallops...
did you add any spices, herbs or onions to the risotto?
