Food Blog: My Favorite Date-Night-In Recipe

Mushroom Risotto

My ideal Valentine's Day would involve staying in and making this mushroom risotto recipe. My husband Jack LOVES mushrooms, and I love making risotto for date nights. They're those rare occasions when you actually want to stand at the stove, stirring and stirring and stirring, because you're also spending time with someone you love. If you're having a date night in, I hope you will make this recipe. White wine, Parmesan cheese (there's also a vegan option), and fresh thyme fill the rice with rich flavor, and its creamy texture contrasts beautifully with the crispy, meaty mushrooms.
