A strong mushroom such as porcini, will add greatly to the flavor of mushroom risotto. Risotto is a rice dish and Arborio rice is the grain used. Although there are minimal ingredients, it is important to take the time to prepare it properly to achieve the correct taste and texture. Pour hot stock into hot risotto, this way you avoid a gummy texture. The rice should be a little bit runny, yet each grain should have a firm bite. This dish is well worth the effort.
