For years now, the main dish that I'm used to my dad cooking is mushroom risotto. As a kid I was really fussy and not keen on it at all but luckily all that changed and now I'll eat basically anything. In the few months before I came to university I started trying to learn how to make my favorite meals so I wouldn't miss them if I couldn't go home too often. Imagine my disappointment when I asked my dad for the recipe for this and he showed me it was on the side of the rice packet!
I have to say though, this is one of the easiest and one of the best recipes that I've encountered. It is short and simple and if you follow it closely you get perfect, amazing risotto. Its not chatty or fun like some recipes, it really is the bare essentials, instructions laid out in numbered steps, but for what it is it's absolutely perfect.
