Creamy Mushroom Risotto
For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable stock concentrate for the beef stock concentrate. This creamy risotto makes a great side dish. Or, to create a hearty vegetarian entrée, roast halved spaghetti, delicata, acorn or butternut squash, then fill the cavities with the cooked risotto.
