I wish I didn't use as much cheese, but I enjoyed this so much!

This was really good! Made without onions (out) but that was only change. Time was 13 minutes, stir, 11 minutes, stir and add liquid, 1 minute. Lovely! Will make again. Thanks.

This was so yummy! I made this for DH b/c he loves mushrooms. No mushrooms for me! I had to add more chicken broth and the cook time leaned more to 30 minutes. I did add in some 1/2 and 1/2 at the end to make it a little creamier. The mushrooms did not overpower the risotto. I feel with mushrooms they take over the flavor but not in this dish.

This is an EXCELLENT microwave risotto. The directions said to cook on HIGH for the mushroom/onion mixture, but no temperature was given for the rice. I cooked it on HIGH for 13 minutes, stirred and cooked another 13 minutes. I used the white wine-it made the dish. I skipped the parmesan at the end.

This is outstanding. Very tasty and so easy. I've always loved risotto but I don't do that oftens because we have to stir constantly. I was out of butter so I used olive oil that I added to mushroom, onion and garlic. I used one onion. I didn't have white wine so I used chicken broth (low-sodium). It cooked 25 minutes and I didn't have to add more broth. I forgot to add parmesan and parsley but it was so good like that. Thanks Celine :) Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
