I gotta admit I was a little skeptical of how easy this risotto recipe was compared to every other one I've seen but apparently taste is not compromised by ease! Very delicious and flavorful! I added about 1/4 cup of parmesan on at the end because, well, I add parmesan to everything :)

Made half the recipe as posted. This is an easy and delicious side dish. I used frozen baby peas and added just to heat at the end of cooking so they stayed a little crunchy. Thanks for posting Sid. Made for I Recommend Tag Game.

Any dish that my kids enjoy it the way they did gets five stars from us!I used short grain rice and I ended up with a very creamy dish. I added some butter to it when I reheated it.Yum.I might have added more peas.Thanks Syd.
