This week, Kayte chose Mushroom Risotto from Modern Classics 1 as our Donna Hay recipe. You can also find it online here. I wasn't too sure about this one at first, as I can be a bit picky about risotto and in the distant past, I did have a bad experience with a gloggy pumpkin risotto.
However, this risotto was really tasty, and came together with ease. The mushrooms really made it by adding "meat" and flavour. I used Swiss brown and oyster mushrooms, but you can use whatever you have on hand. The recipe said to use dried porcini mushrooms as well, but I hate the taste, smell and texture of those, so I left them out.
To see what Kayte, Margaret, Chaya and Sarah thought of this week's dish, visit their websites.

I love risotto - though it can be gluggy - but I am wary of too many mushrooms - I usually love them in risotto though
I never have luck with Mushroom Risotto, Gaye. I think it may have to do with the mositure in the mushrooms. It seems to over whelm the dish. Sounds like you liked this one. Maybe I should check it out. Thanks for sharing, Gaye...
I love it when mushrooms add a meaty texture to food! The risotto actually sounds really tasty :D
I don't think I've ever made risotto and I eat it rarely - but when I have had it, mushroom was my favourite variety. Yours looks great!
This was good, wasn't it. Lots of bite with the mushrooms.
Where have I been all my life, and why have I never tried risotto?? This looks amazing!
Glad to hear it was a good recipe. I was too busy, this week, to even give it a try. You would think summer would be easier but it is still busy. Busy is good but I would have liked to have made the dish especially after seeing yours.
I am so glad you liked it, and thank you for making it. Your photo of it looks wonderful, just mouthwateringly good (I know that isn't a word, but it should be!).
