Okay! We have heard about it, we have seen it, we have on countless occasion faked that we like it when the truth is we didn’t quite make it right and we hated it.
Risotto has spread beyond its Tuscan birth place in leaps and bounds and is now visible throughout the world, in little bowls, from Arizona to Taipei. And hence when we wanted to do something different for dinner on an otherwise mundane day, Risotto seemed to be the best option for us! Solely because we didn’t quite make it right the previous few attempts!
This we assure is fail proof. Enjoy!

- In a wok, fry garlic, onion and butter in olive oil. (Yes, both garlic and butter). Once sauteing is done add mushrooms and wine. At this point, stir through cheese.
