Welcome to seasonal cooking where I make the food you should be eating in September. This is a saffron risotto with jirroles. It’s a mushroomy take on a classic risotto melan. It’s a great dish to celebrate the beginning of autumn. We’re going to soak dried porchini in hot water to create a broth. Meanwhile, we can sweat down our diced onion and then add in a risotto rice to toast for a little bit. In goes a glass of white wine followed by our mushroom broth. As the rsotto cooks, make sure to season well. We can add in our saffron about halfway through. And now on to the girles. We’re going to clean and prep them and then we’re going to cook them up with some garlic and some thyme. I like to add a knob of butter into the pan just to finish them off. When the risotto is ready, add in a knob of butter and a grating of granapadano mantic to get that creamy finish and then serve up. Make sure to shimmy the rice across the whole plate. Finally, top with those delicious mushrooms and an extra grating of cheese.
