This was absolutely wonderful. There are so many layers of flavor and complexities to it. Really delicious! I made almost as written. Used dred fennel and parsley, just because I'm not as big a fan of those as the other herbs. I used more lemon juice (juice of one lemon) and mistakenly added it with the other liquids. Still turned out okay and I didn't need to add more liquid like many people are saying. Okay, now for the but: BUT, 10 minute prep time is not even close. It would take that long just to gather all of the ingredients. Figure on about 30 min prep time. Worth the effort!

Loved the recipe. Only had fresh rosemary, so skipped mint and parsley. Added pieces of cooked asparagus and several shrimp per person at the end. Made quite a meal. Fennel and coriander definitely up the flavor.

We absolutely loved this! I left out the fennel and mint and used thyme instead - otherwise followed the recipe. It turned out great - I will definitely make it again.

It was very good but definitely use fresh herbs like the recipe states rather than dried as I did. The dried herbs just don't add as much flavor as I imagine the fresh herbs would add. You'll probably also need more chicken stock, about 4-4.5 cups rather than the 3.5 stated in the recipe.

I didn't have any of the herbs, so I realize this rating isn't true to the nature of the HERB risotto, but here goes. The risotto was just ok. I threw in some dried Italian Seasoning in lieu of the fresh mint, parsley, and rosemary. I also tossed in 3 dashed of cayenne pepper (but it still wasn't spicy) and used double the white wine & a nice fresh block of Reggiano cheese. Next time, I'll certainly have those herbs to add in. And I might add a protein (shrimp?) if this is the main course.
