Risotto (simple recipe)

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Risotto is quite popular and can confidently be called Italian pilaf. The base of this dish is, of course, rice, and it can be complemented with anything you like: mushrooms, poultry, fish, seafood, or vegetables. Basically, choose according to your taste. I love making mushroom risotto, especially during porcini mushroom season. An important ingredient is dry white wine, but if you don't have it on hand, you can substitute it with broth. Today I'll share a simple recipe. The finished dish can be served immediately.
