What an innocent sounding recipe...
What, no? Ok fine. Cook *FOR* them. Picky picky kitty who only eats beige food. You heard the title text, we got mushrooms from a graveyard and cheese from the orcs. And garlic and rice and other stuff from... looting corpses I guess? Technically.
Starting off with about a tablespoon of butter and some garlic. Maybe I should have used more butter? I was finishing up a packet.
Oh we can throw in the rice already, but before it burns we should add water pretty soon.
While we add the water we can get some mushrooms quickly chopped and lobbed in there as well.
And I saw senshi adding something from a bottle for seasoning, im gonna choose to intepret that as white wine, a classic pairing with garlic and mushrooms.
The rice will take a while to cook on the hob, but we have to keep stirring it. I normally like to just use my steamer for rice so i can forget about it for 30 mins! Anyway we can prepare the cheese while we wait. I've got 2 kinds so ill use a bit of both: sharp cheddar and italian hard cheese.
As the water cooks off I try the rice, if its not fully soft yet I add more water. Hmm, come to think of it im using unsalted butter, I should probably add some salt back in. And some pepper for good measure?
Once the rice is done I can add the cheese and stir it in until its melted and everything gets all creamy looking.
Not bad! I wish I added more cheese, i was surprised how little I tasted it. It mostly tasted like mushrooms with garlic. I really like how creamy and rich a good risotto is, and I think I did a good job of cooking the rice.
