I think this recipe is about a 3.5 star recipe. I wanted to follow it as closely as written in order to give it a fair rating and I never imagined I'd utter these words, but "there were way too many mushrooms." A couple of things to note: I bought pre-sliced mushrooms and they probably weren't as thinly sliced as the recipe intended, so I actually had to cook them in step 2 for about 10 minutes, instead of 3 minutes, and they probably could've cooked a little longer. Next time, I'll start with the baby bellas for about 2 minutes and then add the whites. I added just a little yellow onion in with the shallots because I had it and needed to use it. It took a little longer than 2 minutes to get the rice to a pale, golden color. Finally, I used parsley instead of chives at the end of the recipe and only used about 3 T. of butter. This had good flavor, but again, just too many mushrooms. Oddly enough, the package of baby bellas that I used had a recipe on the carton for mushroom risotto that I may try next time. The ratio for mushrooms to rice in that recipe is 1 lb mushrooms to 1 c. rice. Also, the broth in that recipe is a combination of vegetable broth and water (2:1), so it would be a little cheaper to make, although it may not be as flavorful.

This is very good risotto. Nice and creamy. I added more white wine and cut back on the chicken stock a bit. I don't really drink, but there is no substitute for cooking with wine, and the alcohol is definitely cooked out during this long process-so I really suggest using this ingredient even if you don't drink. We loved the mushroom flavor, using a variety, including shitake- and chopping them. We did not find it to be too many mushrooms, but we are mushroom lovers. I added garlic and more parmesan. My boyfriend suggested adding another herb if I make it again, because, even with the extra flavor, we found it a little bland for our taste. We served it with lamb braised in red wine and it was a great combination-high end restaurant quality.

I was nervous about trying to cook this but it turned out great! Kept the recipe the same, except I only needed 4 cups of chicken broth for mine. I also read the author's updates and made sure my risotto pot and the broth pot were at an appropriately high setting. I'm going to experiment next time with different ingredients and spices, but this is an awesome base!!

Oh my good golly gosh! this was probably one of the best side dishes i have ever had! I have been afraid of Risotto for years...people telling me how bad you have to slave over it...don't over cook...well it's worth every moment at the stove! Taste often as it cooks though....i made it exact-i will say that making a meat and veg were challenging...someone told me to make a meat in the oven and that helped if you have no one to tend to your grill-fantastic.....

I really liked this recipe and it turned out pretty good considering it was my first attempt. It should be noted, however that the cook time was WAY over 15 or 20 mins. I plan my dinners so they are ready about 20 minutes before my boyfriend leaves for work, and I just happened to start this super early (almost one hour) and I still had to rush. Overall, we were pleased with the outcome.

LOVED this risotto! Added a couple little touches. Does take longer than stated time for the perfect texture. Took about 40 minutes. I added 1 TBSP of butter and a large dollop of marscapone at the end for a delicious creamy texture. Also added 3/4 c of frozen peas. Will definitely make it again! Dianne
