Rissoto rice has a great body feel and when cooked with mushrooms and onions and season with vegetables cubes to make a creamy rich Rissoto . This is a low fat version which is fairly quick to make and does away with full fat cream and loads of butter and cheese. Always use Risotto rice for best results.
