  • I remember foraging for wild mushrooms with King Charles III and Antonio Carlucci on the 50,000 acre Balmoral estate. We came back and sautéed and froze enough wild mushrooms to last months for the royal table. In this video I am dehydrating wild mushrooms (they keep even longer) using the PARIS RHONE dehydrator and they have agreed to discount the price if you click on the link below and type in the code. I am also giving a dehydrator away on my Instagram page this week too.
    Here's the link to the PARIS RHONE dehydrator www.amazon.com/dp/B09TD29T7J?...
    Here is the discount code - but it's not available until 12/2/22 and only until 12/8/22 10FD001DM so watch the video of how to use it and then order on Friday.

    King Charles loves Italian food and I remember cooking this for him. Here's the recipe;
    Wild Mushroom Risotto
    Makes 4 portions
    2 cups dried mushrooms
    4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
    2 TBS olive oil
    1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
    salt and pepper to taste
    2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    ¼ cup fresh chopped fresh herbs
    Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl and pour two cups warm water over them rehydrate. Set aside for 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and the keep the liquid.
    In a heavy-bottomed pot add the rice and stir to coat the grains with butter. Add 2 full ladles of the chicken broth mixture to the rice. Stir and simmer over low heat until the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the liquid from the mushrooms.
    Continue to add more broth one ladle at a time, stirring every few minutes. Each time, cook until the mixture seems a little dry before adding more. Add the wild mushrooms, Continue cooking until the rice is cooked through, but still al dente, nutty in texture, about 20 minutes total.
    When done, the risotto should be thick and creamy and not at all dry. Off the heat, stir in the cheese and sprinkle the chives on top before serving.

    During WWII, my family had a large enough "victory garden" that they had a neighboring farmer plow it with a horse. The USDA published a booklet on how to dry vegetables in the sun. Maybe in Arizona, but the sun did not do it in Michigan! Dad made little wooden frames covered with cheese cloth that fit in Mother's oven rack. With very low heat, that dried things easily.
    Later, when in my teens, I grew a lot of sweet corn. Mother did the same with it. Put in a regular fruit jar, it kept well into the winter. With no freezers back then, we thought dried corn was miles better than tin can corn!

    When I lived in Italy I learned how to make risotto from the kind women of the village I lived in. We would pick mushrooms and go back and make the risotto after a few days. I have moved back to the US after my husband’s death. I have to thank you for bringing back memories of a wonderful time in my life. Guess who is making risotto this weekend? Happy Holidays,Darren!

    This was brilliant, Darren. What I love about italian cooking is how simple the recipes are. If you have and highlight the quality of the ingredients, the rest takes care of itself. Antonio Carluccio was a great chef, and that's pretty special you got to spend the day with Prince Charles exploring the estate for wild mushrooms. Something you never forget.
