INGREDIENTS : 

mushroom sauce : 

6 oz king oyster mushrooms, roughly chopped 
3.5 oz shiitake mushrooms, roughly chopped 
3.5 oz brown beech mushrooms, roughly chopped 
1 shallot, finely diced 
3 cloves garlic, microplaned 
¼ C white wine or sherry, room temperature 
2 T heavy whipping cream 
1 T Spice Tribe Porcini Paradiso 
½ t red chili flakes 
salt & pepper, to taste 
extra virgin olive oil 

risotto : 

1 C arborio rice 
1 qt broth, vegetable 
½ C white wine, room temperature 
4 T butter, unsalted 
½ white onion, finely diced 
3 – 4 cloves garlic, microplaned 
salt & pepper, to taste 
extra virgin olive oil 

arancini : 

½ C all purpose flour 
1 T Spice Tribe Porcini Paradiso 
2 C panko bread crumbs 
2 large eggs, whisked 
salt & pepper, to taste 
vegetable oil, for frying 
parsley, for garnish 
lemon, freshly squeezed for garnish 

METHOD : 

Heat a large sauce pan on medium – high heat with a generous portion of olive oil. Sauté the shallots and garlic until golden brown. Season with red chili flakes, salt, and pepper. 

Next add all of the mushrooms and Spice Tribe Porcini Paradiso herb blend. Cook the mushrooms until they start sticking to the pan and/or reduce by half. Deglaze with white wine or sherry. Then turn the heat to low and allow to simmer for several minutes. Pour in the heavy whipping cream, stir to combine, take off heat, and set aside. 

To make the risotto, heat the broth on the stove top on medium to low heat. Heat a second large pot on medium to high heat with olive oil. Sauté garlic and onions until translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in one cup of rice and allow to cook for two minutes. Then add in one cube of butter, wine, and one ladle of broth. Stir and season with a small amount of salt and pepper. 

Continue adding butter and broth slowly until risotto becomes a soft and creamy texture. Make sure to stir throughout the process and turn down the heat if necessary to prevent burning. Then add in the cooked mushrooms, and stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Once reached room temperature, spread the risotto on a baking sheet and place in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight covered. 

Heat a medium pot over medium to high heat, and add vegetable oil that will cover most of the risotto ball. Making sure to not overcrowd the pot, gently place three to four balls into the oil. Fry until golden brown (around four to six minutes), then place on a drying rack. 

Immediately, squeeze fresh lemons over arancinis and season with salt. Repeat this process until all of the risotto balls are fried. Transfer to serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Buon Appetito!

Sh everyone today we’re going to be making mushroom Orangis yesterday we made the ratoo already so it helps bind it before you do the frying process we also paired up with spice tribe that makes a really really flavorful porini Paradiso blend and we’re going to be adding that to our flour mixture so right now I just have

Flour salt pepper and we’ll add one tablespoon of this mushroom blend just to enhance that Flavor Mi up all right tell me what to do so here we have our flour blend two eggs that are whsp and and a bowl of bread crumbs so you’re going to take around 1 14 cup of ranto mixture give it a good squeeze and kind of roll that into a ball

Y so the trick is to squeeze it right yeah just to kind of bind it a little bit more together I made a couple clumpy ones that she wasn’t approving of but to be fair we’re going to stick it in the freezer for 10 minutes before we fry it

So that will help bind it even more how’s that looks great okay so go ahead and put that in the flour lightly dust it lightly dust it yeah how’s that good now shake off any extra flour okay beautiful and then go ahead and roll it in the

Eggs and I’m going to make one too we’re doing this together all right you get a little messy you really play with your food but it’s fun sure all right that how is let me roll it into somewhat presentable Ball these are so so yummy and you can looks really good and you can do these with any flavor but we love mushrooms and especially since spice tribe has the mushroom dry blend we thought that would go perfectly with some ratoo and arancini the mushrooms in here almost look like pasta noodles

Yeah there is also a tablespoon of this blend in the RTO that we made last night all right love it now what’s going on what’s the next step now we are going to stick this plate of ratoo balls in the freezer for 10 minutes and then we’ll
