I love to order porcini risotto at Italian restaurants, but a plate of anything with porcini in it at a decent eatery will easily set me back by about S$25. That is why it makes economical sense for me to cook this at home. I’m glad I did, because I totally enjoy the generous serving of porcini (I use a 1 oz pack for 2 persons) at less than half the price. The water used to soak the dried porcini is used as part of the stock for the risotto, resulting in a deep and earthy taste.

  1. That is wonderful looking rissoto!

  2. What a fabulous, flavorful risotto. I’ve been meaning to attempt risotto and to try using dried mushrooms (other than shiitake.

  3. Your porcini mushrooms risotto looks so scrumptious. It’s a pricey dish here too. So I love cooking it at home to save money. Best of all, I can add more mushrooms to my liking. :)

  4. Hi, I usually take the left-overs to work for lunch and was wondering if risotto can be reheated the next day?

    cheers

    • To me, it won’t really taste as good as the risotto will dry up. But it’s still possible to reheat if you really want to by adding some chicken stock/hot water to the risotto before warming it up :)

    • Thanks a lot for the reply.
