Caramelized Mushroom & Lobster Risotto

Risotto is one of my signature supper dishes. The entire family enjoys it, and it is relatively quick and simple for me to make anytime. It is also a convenient dish because we usually have all of the ingredients on hand anyway. My regular risotto is just plain, but contains onion of course, and that is what I usually make. However, sometimes I make different types of risotto or even just serve some additions on the side, so that way family members can create their own risotto to suit their personal tastes. Tonight I sauteed up some caramelized mushrooms, and we also had some lobster on hand to serve with the risotto. This made quite a tasty risotto. There are so many different risotto combinations out there, actually you could put just about anything you want in risotto. Some classic risotto additions are peas, asparagus, saffron, mushrooms, butternut squash, prosciutto, and salmon. Risotto can be a simple side dish, or a hearty main dish. It is nice served with a side of protein or fish and some vegetables, and a piece of crusty bread. Simple, but always pleasing, flavors to add to risotto are olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
