Shiitake and Asparagus Risotto
I use dried shiitake because the flavor gets intensified during the drying process. It also let's me rehydrate in the warm stock and add some of that flavor to the rice itself. It's creamy and rich enough to stand as a meal on its own or make a great compliment to chicken or steak.

Cooking Instructions

- 2
Wash and dry produce
- 3
Mince the garlic. Cut the onion into small slices. Cut asparagus into 1 in. Pieces. Cut basil leaves into thin strips and discard stems.

When mushrooms are rehydrated remove them from the stock and return the stock to a light simmer. Remove the stems and slice the caps when cool enough to handle.
- 5
Heat a pan for risotto on med-high with 1 Tbs olive oil. Add half the onion. Salt and pepper lightly. Saute until slightly carmelized.
- 6
Add rice to the pan. Stir and cook for about one minute.
- 7
Add the wine. Stir constantly. When the wine is mostly absorbed add stock a ladle at a time, allowing it to mostly absorb between ladles. When the rice is creamy and tender, remove from heat and stir in most of the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste. Then let it rest.

Add 1 Tbs olive oil to another pan and heat on med-high. Add garlic and onions. Lightly season and saute until translucent. Add mushrooms and saute for 3 minutes to cook out the moisture. Add asparagus and cook 1 more minute. The mushrooms should be lightly browned and the asparagus should still be crisp. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add risotto to plate and top with mushrooms, onions, and asparagus. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.

Mushroom and Shrimp Risotto Mushroom and Shrimp Risotto
When I think of mushrooms, I think of risotto... it's one of my favorite dishes! My version uses brown rice and skips butter and cheese. To make it creamy, I stir it vigorously the whole time it cooks. Freshly picked mushrooms have a special flavor, and when combined with shrimp, they make this risotto truly delicious.

Mushroom Risotto Mushroom Risotto
This is a very good and delicious dish. But....it's not fast food. Be prepared to stand there and stir the rice for about 20 minutes (a few minutes more more if you use more rice!). But you'll be rewarded with a most delicious, silky smooth rice dish!!
