I bookmarked this after reading your review. Hubby really likes rice and I think I may actually have arborio rice in the pantry. Shall give it a whirl. Nice pic Bren!

Thank you ladies. It really is a comforting dish. It's not difficult to make Bakerme, and oh so good. I'm sure that your DH will love this Janet, so much flavour.

Thanks everyone!! Yes, Bakerme, it can be made with brown rice. It will take longer and have a nutty flavour but it can be done.

So pleased I tried this out. We loved it! I too halved the recipe as it was just hubby and I for dinner. I have a portion left over. 3/4 cup of arborio rice would serve three people as a side dish. But I'm happy for the leftovers. :) Tried two new recipes for dinner last night, this one, and then a Braised Duck with a red wine sauce. The duck was a dud, the risotto a hit. :) I used my home made chicken broth, the instructions were clear and easy to follow and the cook time spot on. On Bren's advice I still used about 4 cups of broth for the 3/4 cup of rice and it was perfect. Thanks Bren for bringing this recipe to my attention. Thanks Manella for posting it!
Michelle, I would think you could change out the mushrooms (since your family doesn't care for them) with asparagus. You'd get a different flavour somewhat but I think you'd love this recipe.
