Dinner for 2
Mixed Mushroom Risotto with Garlic, Lemon & Sage Oil
Well I had to get back at it. The unexpected loss of my Mom last week has put a damper on everything in my life and I really haven't cooked any meals since the 17th. Too sad. However, the show must go on as they say and my mom was very proud of my passion for food and has been encouraging me to find the funds for culinary school. Although she wasn't much of an adventurous eater she did love what I cooked when it was in her preferred flavour profile.
One of the foods I love is risotto. Particularly mushroom risottos. I have never tried to make risotto at home so this seemed like a good time to give it a go. After all I intended to make it a couple weeks back but the ice storm through a wrench in my plans.
Found this recipe that seemed yummy enough.
I forgot to purchase parsley and the plant growing in the pot in my kitchen is certainly looking dead so I had to leave it out.
It wasn't as difficult to make as I thought but it seemed a little over cooked and heavy. I think there is a fine line to master with this dish. I will need more practice.
The Garlic, lemon, sage oil on the top was a fantastic flavour. I think with practice this will become a favourite.
The best bits about looking at old photos and telling old stories is remembering all those fantastic things my mother did that shaped me as a person.
Thanks Mom for helping to shape me into who I am. I will miss you always XO
