Cremini Mushrooms Risotto and Beef Milanese

 

My husband and I are lovers of Italian food, so in my house almost all the dishes are somehow inspired in this kind of food. On this occasion, I wanted to make a cremini mushroom risotto and beef Milanese, something very classic and easy. Since I did that my husband liked the mushrooms, I enjoy eating the dishes that I used to eat alone, so  I can say that love can do everything, LOL!

 

Most of the  risotto recipes tell us that we need to use arborio rice, since this type of Italian rice is ideal for the dish, but if you're like me, living in a village that the exotic ingredients is not readily available, do not complicate your life, you can still make risotto.

 

If we seek the definition of risotto, this tells us is a creamy rice with parmesan cheese,  in any of the definitions that I saw said that you should necessarily use the arborio rice, because if not, it was not risotto. I use plain white rice, but, I did it the traditional way.

I hope you enjoy the recipe as I do!

For this recipe you will need:

Ingredients:

1 cup of traditional white rice
1 cup of chicken broth
2 cups of water
1/2 cup of cremini mushrooms 
3 tlps of onion
1 garlic

2 tlps of butter
1/4 cups of parmesan chesse
