Hi Judith, yes rinsing rice before cooking is recommended.

Thanks,

Still a bit of a time commitment but the hour or so it’s baking is technically free time. I added a large amount of oregano and some red pepper to zing it up a bit but everything else is spot on. One suggestion may be to give grams or ounces rather cups for ingredients when possible. 1 cup of grated cheese would be better in ounces or grams; that said whatever amount I added was fine b/c you don’t really have to be super exact. PS: I appreciate you and your recipes so much, Kate.

The texture was perfect, no more standing over the stove with boiling broth slowly ladling and furiously stirring!

Hi Donna, thanks for sharing the idea to add spinach! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe.

My husband loved it.

Followed the recipe exactly—turned out with that risotto al dente bite and creamy texture, tons of mushroom flavor. I finished with a few drops of sherry vinegar on the plate for some brightness.

Didn’t put the last cup of broth in because it didn’t seem to need it. Otherwise followed recipe. Great flavor. Will absolutely make again.

Hi Archana, reheating it in the microwave or stovetop will work fine.
