BLACK RICE & WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO (by Maman)
This black Italian rice is one of Maman's favorite for its unique color and aesthetic appeal. She cooks with it not so often because it takes longer than regular rice to cook... Today, she made it into a wild mushroom risotto - so delicious! Bon appetit!
