Should I wash the rice?

Never rinse the rice when cooking risotto. Keeping all the natural starch in the rice is essential for a creamy texture

I don't have fresh porcini mushrooms, can i substitute them?

This recipe works best with wild forest mushrooms, and porcinis are the best choice. You can use fresh, dried, or frozen. If you can't find any, use other kinds of forest mushrooms, like chanterelles.

Can porcini mushroom risotto be made ahead of time?

Risotto is always best served immediately. If you do have leftovers, you can store in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days, but bear in mind that it won't be as creamy after it cools down. You can add a small splash of broth or water before reheating to help make it creamier.
