(Let me also assure you there is no gluey rice in sight.
Just creamy, silky, perfectlyal denterisotto!)
So this recipe is based around a rather large volume of either white or Swiss Brown/Cremini mushrooms!
Other than the mushrooms, theres nothing unusual or groundbreaking in this recipe.
Its more about cooking technique (trust me, risotto is simple!).
Then remove from the pot.
Saute garlic and onionuntil the onion is cooked and the garlic smells amazing!
Deglaze with wine and add risotto Add wine and let it simmer rapidly until mostly evaporated.
The end result will be just as creamy, I promise.

The excess liquid will evaporate quite rapidly in the finishing steps.
Add the cream and parmesan, then give it a vigorous stir.
This activates the starch in the risotto rice which gives the sauce the signature creamy consistency.
In this step, youll also observe that the risotto transforms from being sloppy to beautifully creamy!

Busting risotto-making myths!
Tall narrow pot = high rice and liquid depth = must stir regularly for even cooking.
As a starter, serve smaller portions (remembering that this is quite rich!).
The peppery flavour of the Rocket lettuce is a classic pairing with rich, creamy dishes like this risotto.
Bonus that its possibly thefastestside salad ever!!
