Mushroom Risotto ('Shroomapalooza #4)

 

So...  I quartered about a pound of mushroom caps and sautéed them in EVOO until golden.

Then I made a very basic risotto...

At the last moment, I added the sautéed mushrooms and 2T chopped tarragon from the garden.... then turned off the heat and whipped in 1T butter and ½ C grated Parmigiano.

As I was plating, I thought a bit of brightness might be a plus, so I microplaned a bit of lemon zest.

Deep... from the ‘shrooms...

But light and bright because of the tarragon and lemon zest.  Somehow, a Spring-in-July mushroom risotto!!
