The first risotto I've ever made was a mushroom risotto. Since then I've made many other risotto's but I remember this fondly.
You can use different types of mushroom and in this case I'm using a mix of oyster mushrooms, shiitake and chestnut mushrooms.
I served this risotto as a side dish with some roasted leg of lamb but it's perfect to serve on its own.
