Risotto with Portobello Mushrooms

Risotto is a creamy and rich rice dish from Italy. It is a dish that requires some time and attention, but rewards with fantastic taste and texture. Risotto is traditionally made with a special type of rice called arborio or carnaroli, which has a high starch content. In my recipe, however, I use regular pudding rice, which can easily substitute the somewhat expensive risotto rice.
