Mushroom risotto - a hidden gem of Italian cuisine!

  Good day to all healthy food lovers! Today we will virtually travel to Italy.  Italy is really like a heaven for those who enjoy tasty food! Pasta, pizza, panini, cappuccino, tiramusu, gelato, and much more!  But do you know that Italians are very good in cooking rice, particularly, risotto? Italian risotto can be with cheese, seafood, shrimps, squids, asparagus... Just to name a few! I personally like mushroom risotto very much! Why? Because in Italy you can find natural, organic mushrooms grown in a forest that have amazing flavor! Do you know another secret of cooking nice risotto? Right, the rice! Not every type of rice is suitable for risotto. It is recommended to use either Arborio or Carnaroli rice and to cook it until 'al dente', not more.  And, of course, your risotto will only benefit if you add there authentic grated Parmesan cheese and Italian dry white wine. Buon appetito!
