Do not cover the risotto with the lid the entire time you are preparing it. After each serving Stir the risotto for about three minutes, until the liquid is completely absorbed.

  8. Stir the contents of the pan with a wooden spoon every few minutes. If the mushrooms start to brown, reduce the heat. In this way, fry the mushrooms with garlic for about 25 minutes, all the time without the lid. After this time, add a handful of chopped parsley and one level teaspoon of salt and 1/3 level teaspoon of pepper.
  9. Add two tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mushrooms. Stir them and then pour in another 1/3 cup of 30% cream, which is about 100 grams of heavy cream.

About me
And short story about LEET DIET

As a choreographer and aerial gymnast, I had always been interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diets had been my hobby, but I never truly enjoyed them until I discovered the Keto diet. After reading numerous books about how our bodies work and the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet, I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. The Keto lifestyle quickly became my passion, and I began experimenting with new recipes and meal plans. That's when I decided to share my knowledge with the world and created Leet Diet, a website filled with delicious Keto-friendly recipes and helpful tips for anyone looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
