Trader Joe's Mushroom Risotto

Trader Giotto's Mushroom Risotto

 

Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan Cheese

 As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I have yet to find a Trader Joe's product I do not love!

I was leery of this risotto, I have to admit. 
How can something so finicky to make
(do you watch Hell's Kitchen?)
taste good prepared frozen?



Well, let me tell you... it's not as amazing as homemade, but it is actually pretty darn good and alot less hassle.

Directions say to cook frozen, with 2 tablespoons of water for 5 minutes on high heat.

I used 2 tablespoons of white wine. You do have to stand and stir for 5 minutes.

It starts out soupy, and if it starts to get dry, just add more water or wine.

keep stirring...

...telling yourself that

homemade takes 45 minutes to a hour

of stirring
