Risotto!!!

I have always been afraid to make risotto. I think the thought of constantly stirring something for 45 minutes was what intimidated me, but this did not take that long and it turned out great. It was EASY, I promise. I could have let it cook a little bit longer but it was still delicious. This is from serves one, so its one serving only.

Here are your Ingredients


the steps





I have made my own broth once before but I am far too lazy for that.


Here are your fats!


I had these pre cut from a previous recipe!


I am NOT affiliating myself with that Sandra Lee character but I say if you can get something prepackaged that helps you cook, do it!


peas


Arborio Rice. You should be able to find this in any grocery store these days.


Vino, I didn't have vermouth but white wine works fine.


Thyme





get your broth simmering, I just threw the whole can in there and ended up using most of it.


Saute your mushrooms and shallot. A recipe without garlic...I am not sure how I feel about that!


In goes the rice and we begin the fun!


You do not have to stand there and stir this CONSTANTLY, but keep it moving around every once in a while.


add the final ingredients and let it rest a couple of minutes.


This was creamy and delicious. Don't forget that sprinkle of cheese on the top! As I mentioned, I might have cooked it a tiny bit longer, but you don't want it to get gummy! Now that I know that I can make this I want to try some other flavor combos.

I want to thank you all again for all of the comments and the enthusiasm you all have about the blog. I am humbled that I can have the slightest effect on how you eat and I appreciate every comment you guys make.
