3. While stirring the rice, the simmering broth must be added in the rice little by little until it is absorbed. Repeat the steps, ladle by ladle with the broth until you reach the right texture and consistency of a creamy risotto. (Patience makes an exceptional dish 😉) (Total stirring time is about 20 min) keep the same in a low fire.

Risotto ai funghi is probably the most renowned of all risotto dishes, and should ideally be cooked with porcini mushrooms when they begin to come into season in July in Italy. However, dried porcini (or indeed any other mushroom) is fine. Being originally a dish of the common people it's easy, and very tasty.
