tre funghi (three mushroom) risottoRisotto and mushrooms are a match made in heaven, much like Jackie and me. I have always loved mushrooms, almost as much as I love potatoes (okay maybe not quite that much). My love of funghi began at an early age, and I am happy that Jackie and I share this love. We eat them every which way: raw, sautéed, in a salad, or slathered on top of a great cut of steak. Mushroom risotto is one of my favorite things to make, and for this recipe I chose to use three different kinds of shrooms and top it off with delicious truffle oil. These flavors can’t be beat.
tre funghi (three mushroom) risottoWe often talk about making risotto, but we never seem to get around to it. With the fall chill in the air, I decided it was finally time for a comforting, decadent dish of funghi risotto. I used button, crimini, and shiitake mushrooms from our local market to create texture, and Arborio rice as the base for our amazing meal.tre funghi (three mushroom) risottoI talk to people all the time who are intimidated by risotto; everyone thinks that it is too complex or difficult to make. I have learned over the years that the only true difficulty is with one’s patience, as risotto requires a constant eye. Stirring it frequently is what gives it the quintessential, creamy texture without the starchy taste. Once you get past that, this tre funghi risotto is rather easy to make. It is rich enough to be served as an entrée, or as a great accompaniment to steak.tre funghi (three mushroom) risotto
