Morel and Truffle Risotto

Such deep flavours!

Morels and truffles are both pricy, so I don't make this often.  All the same, it's a worthwhile treat!

Porcini and kale risotto

For now, here's an amazingly flavoured dish with the earthy taste of mushroom and fresh kale.

Chanterelle and Pea Risotto

Sweet peas and savoury mushrooms make this risotto a winner.

Shiitake and sweet pepper Risotto: How-To

First: start a stock (or you could use prepared stock).  Do not salt the stock, or it will make the final result unpleasantly salty.

Risotto needs a particular sort of rice: Abborio

Rinse the rice, otherwise it gets sticky.

Saute diced onions until transparent, then add the rice and continue the sauteing for a few moments more.

Then add the vege stock one ladle at a time and continue to saute.

The rice is ready when the rice is "toothsome" - al dente.
