This recipe makes a quick and easy creamy risotto without the dairy. We love the assorted mushrooms as it gives a more wholesome taste. We use the absorption method to cook the rice which is less work and frees you from the stove. If you are making your stock add more time for the cooking process.

- 12 strands saffron – soaked in 4 tablespoons of hot water
