My grandma used to make risotto all the time, and we all loved it. So when I get a chance to make it, I try to put my own spin on it. My family loves this savory risotto.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Creamy and full of flavor this is a wonderful way to cook risotto. Browning the Arborio rice, along with the onions and mushrooms, adds to the richness of the flavor. It's a flavorful risotto even before the fresh Parmesan is added. Once added, it makes the side dish even more savory. Perfect side dish for when you're making something special or for Valentine's Day dinner. But, it's easy enough to prepare if you have a risotto craving.
