I used this recipe to make my first Risotto ever. Quite frankly, I didn't know what to expect. The only place I've ever heard of Risotto is on all of those TV cooking shows. It's so prevalent on there that you would think it's really difficult to do. I suppose it could be if you don't know how to do it. Thanks to Rouxbe Cooking School I don't have to worry about that.

I really like rice and since this is a type I'd never had I decided to see what all the fuss was about. I'm glad I did. The dish turned out very well and I was happy to use up the ingredients I had on hand before they went bad. This Risotto is very tasty and quite substantial. I ate it as a main course and was not hungry for hours. Very unusual for a dish that has no meat. I recommend this recipe to anyone contemplating a first Risotto. You won't be disappointed.
