2. Peel the outer part of portobello mushrooms, then slice into smaller bits..
3. Add a drizzle of olive oil on a large wide base pan on a medium heat and add the mushroom and chicory..
4. Meanwhile boil a kettle. You will need about 3-4 glasses of water for 1 glass of risotto..
5. Once the chicory and mushroom is a little cooked and shrunk, add the risotto and mix for a bit. Add some salt to your taste..
6. Gradually add little boiled water at a time. I tend to do half a glass or less each time. Mix the risotto frequently throughout..
7. Once the risotto rice is about to reach al dente and almost all of the water has dried out, turn the heat down and add in few slices of taleggio and mix..
8. Lastly, add a bit of red wine and mix again..
9. Serve in a plate and top up with grated parmesan cheese to your liking..

Return the risotto to the heat, add the knob of butter, cooked mushrooms and Parmesan and gently stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This recipe was very easy to make but I did season my chicken when I first put it in by itself and the recipe itself came out very nice! This had no taste and I kept having to add liquid to it. It took a lot of tweaking to make it edible (it was too bland).
