Nothing is better for a filling dinner than a big bowl of risotto, a creamy creation for which we have Italy to thank. Also from Italy (well, Sicily) is Marsala wine, a sweet fortified wine used in such Italian favorites as, well, Chicken Marsala. It adds a lovely rich flavor to the umami-packed mushrooms, which in turn combine with steak strips and tomatoes for the perfect topping for risotto. Tip: Constantly stirring risotto does more than just give your arm a good workout. Stirring releases starches, a key for creamy risotto, and allows for even cooking of the rice.
