Recipe: Grill the baguette slices over fire-grill on both sides or toast them in a toaster. If you are using grill put the mushrooms over the grill for 1-2 minutes to get some smoky flavour, if not skip this step.

Deglaze with the white wine and add the balsamic vinegar. Cook until au-sec. Season the wild mushrooms with salt and pepper.

RISOTTO WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS
Ingredients: 1 oz. dry porcini mushrooms, soaked in 1 cup of hot water for 45 minutes; 2 cups arborio rice; 2 tbsp. butter; 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil; 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, chopped; 1/2 cup dry white wine; 5 cups chicken stock, or as needed; sea salt and black pepper to taste; 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley; 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
Recipe: Drain and rinse the mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Cut them into strips. Heat the butter and the olive oil in a large heavy skillet and saute the onion and garlic for 3 minutes. Deglaze with the wine, and continue stirring until the wine has almost evaporated. Add the arborio rice and saute 2 minutes more. Still stirring, add a cup of chicken stock. When the stock is absorbed by the rice, add the sliced porcini, and another cup of stock. When the stock has been absorbed again, add the strained mushroom liquid. Continue adding chicken stock as needed until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes. Use as much stock as needed. The rice is cooked when it is tender and creamy, but not mushy. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, stir in parsley and the Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve. |
