Mushroom Risotto 6 Effortful 0m/30m/0m Mild General Risotto is the most famous Rice dish of Italy. Cooking risotto will need 30-40 minutes with full attention (sorry no short cut). It may take long time but the result is worth the time and effort. Cooking instruction Always have stock ready and warm. Usually I use 2 stoves, one for cooking and one for heating stock. You can cook with one stove but some time will be wasted for heating up the stock again in cooking pan. You need special rice for cooking risotto. If you use other rice variety, the result may not be the same as the original.
