Risotto with mushrooms

This is a dish, which does not require many ingredients, you only need ingredients, which you normally will have basic ingredients in kitchen as most of them are having a long shelf-life.

I really am a big fan of risotto. Making risotto may require some cooking time in a busy daily life, but if you a bigger portion than needed, you can freeze the rest for those working days, where 10 minutes preparation time is maximum and still enjoy a home-made meal.

If you are not going to eat all of the risotto at the same meal, it is important, that you do not mix in the parsley, in this case you should use the parsley only on the risotto, which will be eaten. Parsley contains earth bacteria, which can become a microbiological problems, if stored and re-heated again.
