Risotto with mushrooms

I really enjoy to make risotto at home. It is not, that difficult to make yourselves. At the time being it is risotto with mushrooms, which I keep make again and again. Both the taste and smell of the white wine during the cooking and while eating is just wonderful.

I always make a big portion, so I can easily can enjoy risotto on work evenings, simply by heating a risotto portion in the microwave oven.
