Cook-Together Risotto

[PrincessFiona60]

It wasn't too bad. It is needy but you can leave it for a minute or two if needed.

I was not happy with the mushroom mixture but overall it was good.

What mushrooms did you use?

I had some portabella and a mix that Kathleen got at Costco.

I want to do a cheese risotto next.

All the recipes that I find need a 1/2 cup of white wine. Do you need to put it in, I really don't want to open a bottle for a 1/2 cup.

I know I'm late with this but first I would consider serving the wine with the meal. Second, I find that if you cap or recork it, white wine stays good in the fridge for plenty long enough to find other recipes for it. I never have any trouble using it up. Red wine on the other hand, does go bad and I usually try to use it quickly or serve it with the meal. I try to plan 2 or 3 meals the same week to use it up.

I have to do the same thing with red wine, RP. The problem is I like marsala with some dishes, port with others... and I'm not a wine drinker. And I can't find those little bottles I here they make around me.
White on the other hand, I use vermouth where white wine is called for. That stuff lasts forever.

My secret weapon is to replace half the final parmiggiano with 3 tbsp of chives flavored cream cheese. Out of this world delish!!!!!
