PORCINI RISOTTO

Porcini risotto was one of the first risottos I cooked. I think I was 2. Risottos are dead easy to cook. They just need extended love - like about 30 minutes of gentle stirring. I like to think of it as foreplay. They also need quality ingredients - decent rice like the vialone nano I used here, a good aged parmesan, rich home-made chicken stock, good butter (I used a hand-churned butter bought at Everleigh Markets last weekend).
