If you’re anything like me then you’re always trying to recreate restaurant meals at home. Not only is it much more economical to eat at home, but you know exactly what’s going in it. If you’re not crazy about fresh mushrooms or truffle oil then simply omit it. However, I do believe that those two ingredients take this dish to the next level. This truffle mushroom risotto was so delicious and easy to make. You may use real truffles but truffle oil is just as good.
