Mushroom risotto

I love mushrooms, I can eat them single day ;) when I tried mushroom risotto the first time I fell in love with it. This recipe is so simple but so so delicious and I have skipped the wine so even kids can enjoy this. What I love the most is that it is one pot cooking so therefore less cleaning.

A good quality arborio rice, mushrooms and a good vegetable or chicken stock are the key to this recipe. I have used mixed mushrooms and it turned out so good. I had homemade chicken stock at home and the taste was amazing. If you don’t have the time to make a homemade chicken stock/broth then I recommend using Sadie’s Kitchen chicken bone broth (not sponsored) I just love their broth the taste is just like homemade.

The only time consuming part for this recipe is to keep stirring the risotto and add the stock little by little, be patient the risotto will turn out yum! Try making it with different veggies of yours choice, if you have any veggies to be used up why not try this risotto?
