Mushroom risotto

Last night I made mushroom risotto to accompany E's fish on the BBQ. I was trying to work out a side dish and nothing looked very inspiring.

I saw the aborito rice in the cupboard and decided to try to make risotto - a first for me. I'd read a few recipes in recent months, in particular after E had made an attempt a few months back that was really not good (he just put the truffle rice pack in a huge pot of boiling water like it was pasta... uck).

It took some time because you have to stand at the stove and stir constantly, but it wasn't hard and it was VERY good. Everyone loved it, and I'm looking forward to finding new risotto recipes!
