Instant brown rice slashes the prep time of this easy, savory risotto. And did we mention it's a Healthy Living recipe, too?

I've had this recipe in my recipe box for a long time but never made it because making risotto sounded "hard". It was actually VERY easy. Although I didn't think it was as good as some I've had at restaurants, I was pleasantly surprised at the taste. It was tasty and my husband who loves mushrooms but doesn't care much for rice raved about it. One word of advice, I found it bland at first but after I added some salt & pepper at the end, it tasted much better. Oh, and I used fresh mushrooms because I don't like canned - they are rubbery to me. Overall a good recipe that I would fix again. It looks "fancy", too.

I used cream of mushroom soup instead of broth and had to add more water because of it but it was sooo good. I also added peas. Honestly I don't understand the reviews that said it was bland...one of the best risottos I've ever had and I've been to Italy!

Rated 4 out of 5 by meltool88 from Very good. Very good. Hubby loved it, I thought the basil was a bit too strong. Maybe next time I'll try fresh basil instead of dry, which should mellow it out a bit.
