Classic Wild Mushroom Risotto

It takes only a small amount of dried porcini to make this intensely flavored risotto. Carnaroli rice, a short-grain variety grown in Italy, has the perfect texture for this dish, although Arborio rice is an excellent second choice. Traditionally made with chicken broth, this risotto is so rich that vegetarians can use water instead.
