Where the wild things are…Wild Mushroom Risotto. Gorgeously rich with the flavors of the earth paired with the creamy comfort of Italian risotto. Little Jewel Recipe #606 from the Collection Membership-join the Collection here.
WILD MUSHROOMS
Well, not really wild, but cultivated species of the ever elusive mushroom. Pictured here are a collection from Santa Barbara farmers market, these will create a bellissimo risotto.
RISOTTO
If you have some fears about making risotto, fear not! It is an easy, creamy, comforting Italian dish you will make again and again. After all, it’s just rice.
There are many recipes to prepare risotto, too many to count, but Wild Mushroom Risotto is one you will want to collect. This recipe is easy, in that the mushrooms and risotto are sautéed together, keeping things simple.
This risotto keeps the mushrooms the same size as the risotto to create an even texture. Make sure you do not overcook the rice, keep a soft toothsome chew. It is ready when you can drag the spoon across the pan bottom and a trail remains. Remember the rice will continue to cook after you remove it from the heat.
I served the risotto in my favorite bowl handmade by a friend back home when I lived in Pasadena, great memories! Cheers.
As always, enjoy. B
