Risotto is good old Italian comfort food, a classic Italian dish that comes from Milan, Northern Italy. The rice is slowly cooked over the stove in broth with onion and wine to a creamy consistency. There are so many different types of Risotto from pumpkin to chicken but of course at truffles USA our favorite is the Truffle Risotto. Adding additional mild mushrooms such as Portobello or Porcini to this recipe is a good idea but not required.
