Leek Mushroom & Lemon Risotto

Risotto is a very popular Italian rice dish made with a short to medium grain, plump rice which is high in starch content. It is one of those dishes where the star of the dish is its simplicity. Risotto draws its brilliance from a good rice cooked in a vegetable stock along with some vegetables.
