There’s been a mini-bottle of bubbly sitting unopened in our fridge for a while, so when we saw that Great Bowls of Fire had a recipe for a spicy risotto that used champagne and was chock full of mushrooms, we had to try it. Neither one of us have risotto very often, so I’m not sure how this one rates when compared to others, but we both really enjoyed the creamy texture and the bite from the spice — the champagne was subtle, but you definitely could taste it. (In case you’re wondering, the risotto is that color due to the turmeric that’s in the recipe.)
