mushroom risotto

Creamy arborio dish

Mushroom risotto is an Italian rice dish made by slowly cooking arborio or other short-grain rice in broth, stirring until creamy, with sautéed mushrooms folded in.

The dish exemplifies risotto technique—patient stirring releases starch for its characteristic texture.

We ordered the mushroom risotto as a starter.
