To prepare, you will typically sauté aromatics like onions and garlic in a pot. Then, you'll add the rice from the kit and toast it briefly. Next, you gradually add liquid, such as broth or water, stirring frequently. The dried mushrooms will rehydrate and release their flavor as the rice cooks. Continue adding liquid and stirring until the rice is tender and the risotto is creamy and well-combined. Finish with a touch of butter or cheese if desired.
