Porcini Risotto with Chicken and Rosemary
I don't think anything welcomes brisk fall days as well as a warm kitchen smelling of risotto.
The easy finish of a touch of porcini oil adds that warm earthiness to this dish. This dish is perfect as a side, or add shredded warmed up leftover roasted chicken to make it a perfectly easy fall dinner.
Ingredients:
6 Cups of More then Gourmet roasted chicken stock
3 1/2 tablespoons butter
