Mushroom Risotto

Category Four Stars, Dinner

Mushroom Risotto They say: Vegetarian Italian sausage, mushrooms and enriched rice make our risotto a great tasting, healthy dinner.

I say: I have no idea what Risotto is, but when I first opened it I thought it looked mushy with a slight aroma of curry. However I love mushrooms so I found it tasty. It is a bit on the peppery side so have a glass of water nearby.

Had this last night - and did not finish it. It was salty and has that same odd chemical taste that most of the beef/gravy items have. I pulled it from my autoship order right away.

This is only the 2nd dinner I've found so far in almost three weeks that I don't like. It has an odd smell and flavor, and I mentioned in another post that it looks like something they'd eat on fear factor. Just my opinion you realize. I know others on here love it as much as I love those highly contentious caramel dessert bars!

It's funny you said that about Fear Factor... I don't like a LOT of this food, and I only started 5 days ago. I don't want to waste it because it's so expensive, so I just pretend I'm on Fear Factor when I eat. I close my eyes, try to think of something else, and methodically chew and swallow each bite, trying not to gag.

I think this is wonderful. It's one of my favorites! I think it has a great flavor and a terrific risotto texture. Planning to have it tonight.

I enjoyed this. Of course, I seasoned it with pepper and some garlic powder and put it all on top of a sauteed portabello mushroom. I look forward to having it again.

We like this one a lot. I add asparagus, mushrooms and sometimes onion to it. It's not as good as my homemade but of course my home made is full of cheese and the rice is a high carb item. But we think NS did a good job wiht their version...

I really enjoyed this dinner with some crushed tomatoes, green onions and a tsp of asiago cheese. It was really filling and had a nice texture.

I really wanted to like this because I LOVE risotto, but the smell of red peppers was just too much for me and it didn't have the smoothness of normal risotto. I took it off my autoship and resigned myself by remembering that Trader Joe's makes a wicked frozen mushroom rissotto that's surprisingly low in fat... so if I get the hankering, I'll go there instead.

Best. Dinner. Ever.

I would totally order this in a restaurant. I think I literally cried with joy the first time I tried it. Fabulous. Add some roasted mushrooms and it's heaven.

01.28.05 | rickbel commented:

This is great!!! I usually add all kinds of different mushrooms to it -- portobella, etc. It's my favorite!!

01.29.05 | rwasserm commented:

01.29.05 | 2muchGlinda commented:

This was the first NS meal I tried, and it's still my favorite. I love it. I add some peas and have green beans on the side. I ordered extra for next month.

This entree is by far my favorite.. my husband is a chef/owner of an Italian rest.. and while it's not the same as the full fat version it defiantely satifies me! Love it!
