One good thing about the risotto recipe is, basically remains the same in almost all risotto recipes. You cook either arborio rice or Carnaroli Rice with vegetable stock {homemade vegetable stock } and wine (optional) and cook it the rice with both in such a way that rice release lots of starch which lends a creamy texture to the risotto. And in the last you finish it with salty and flavourful Parmesan cheese.

In this recipe of sun-dried tomato and mushroom risotto, I used sun-dried tomatoes (no oil) and also dried porcini mushrooms. The recipe is quite simple but if you take care of certain things your risotto turns out quite well. I have written quite a lot about technique and tips of making risotto in two previous recipes of risotto Mushroom risotto and Parmesan and Pesto Risotto. I suggest do read them if you are risotto lover like me.
