Rissoto

After Googling for a long time and loosing hope of someone to cook it for me.
I cooked Rissoto. It's surprisingly easy. Have many versions that start by savory appetizers to sweet sweet desserts.

I noticed these things in all the recipes:

- use short grain starchy rice.like arborio.
-keep stirring.
-the liquid must be boiling.
-use a high walled pan.

----

Ingredients :

- half an onion. Finely diced.
-half a cup parsley and coriander. Chopped. -half a cup mushroom. Halfed. (I used canned mushrooms)
- cup of short grain rice.
-four cups boiling water. With two stock cubes dissolved in it.
-  quarter cup grated parmesan cheese.
- two spoons butter.
- three spoons olive oil.

---

The method :

- in the hot pan. Add the olive oil and the butter. Add mushrooms. And stir till its a litte brown.

- add the onions. Stir for couple of minutes.

- add the rice. And gradually. Cup by cup.  Add the liquid. Add one cup at a time, stir till it's absorbed then add another.and keep stirring.

- when the rice become soft and aldenty. And it flows like a volcano lava. It's done!

Add the herbs and parmesan before serving.

Enjoy!
