Backyard Farming the Natural Way

I want to share a wonderful risotto recipe with you that we make using certain of our mushrooms (primarily the chicken of the woods but also the elm oyster). 

Ingredients:

1 cup rice. 3-4 chopped green onions. 2-3 tablespoons of butter. 1 1/2 cup water. 1 beef bouillon cube. pinch of saffron. 1/2 tsp. sesame oil

1 tbls  olive oil

1 cup sauteed mushrooms

pepper

fresh parmesan cheese

Saute rice and green onions in butter until onions are transparent. Melt 1 beef bouillon cube in 1 1/2 cups boiling water. When rice and onions are sauteed, add water. Add mushrooms, pinch of saffron, sesame oil and olive oil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. When done, add pepper to taste and top with fresh parmesan cheese. Wonderful!
