Your risotto looks great, how do you get it to be the right consistency - mine often goes a bit stodgy and becomes too heavy

Good question, anonymous.

First I soften red onion in butter and oil, then I add dried porcini and the rice. I cook this, slowly adding stock, for about 30 minutes. In another pan I cook the other mushrooms with some garlic. When the rice is cooked I add the other mushrooms with butter, parmesan and parsley.

Adding the mushrooms etc. at the end helps to keep it light.
