I can be so gullible :-) IIRC, I saw someone, maybe Rachel Ray making risotto and stirring is "occasionally" so I thought I stood at least a chance. > > Real risotto is generally going to require a water to rice ratio (by volume) of > 3.5 to 4, sometimes more, especially with a thirsty component like mushrooms. Yes, I think this cook book overshot that ratio. With mushrooms already hydrated, including 1/4 cup white wine, the ratio is 3.25 (water) to 1 (rice). True porridge. We ate it, but since it was really tasteless, I added loads of parm regg & chopped Italian parsley. Then I went further and added salt & pepper and believe it or not, red pepper flakes. Had a bottle of white, can't remember what it was, I couldn't drink it, so opened a bottle of red for me. Broccoli Rabe with shallots & cannelli beans; had to make up for the risotto by eating some (pulled from the freezer) Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. Dee |
