Creamy mushroom & asparagus risotto

I know I’ve said risotto can be a little bland in the past, so I decided to make this one a little special. Check out this super tasty, wild mushroom and asparagus version, meaty mushrooms flambéed in brandy, crunchy asparagus and a silky smooth sauce

Give it a try!
