Yesterday's surprise find:
Fresh Chicken of the Woods mushrooms, still young enough to be tender and beautiful.
We had some of them sauteed them in butter with tender small fennel and finished with a small bit of cream. This mushroom doesn't really shrink up when you cook it. Even a small amount has a rich and luxurious flavor.
Tonight there will be a rich mushroom risotto.

Mushroom risotto sounds good! Are there a lot of poisonous mushrooms over there?
Hey, I have no points left and you talk about risotto!;-) I know what I am going to be dreaming of tonight. I hope there is extra Parmesan in my dreams and maybe some truffle oil.
I’ve never tried these — lucky you! How did you identify them? And how did you know where to look?
