Chef’s Pro Tips

  • Use a wide skillet to ensure the rice cooks evenly and absorbs the liquid properly.
  • For extra depth of flavor, consider using a mix of different mushroom varieties like porcini or oyster.
  • To make the risotto extra creamy, stir in a final knob of butter right before serving.
