Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Root Vegetable Puree

Peel and chop root vegetables. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and blend until smooth, adding a bit of vegetable broth to achieve a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2

Sauté the Mushrooms

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced oyster mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.

3

Cook the Risotto

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent. Add Arborio rice and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted.

4

Add Broth Gradually

Begin adding vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb most of the liquid before adding more. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

5

Finish the Risotto

Stir in sautéed mushrooms, fresh herbs, spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Add remaining butter for extra creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6

Poach the Eggs

Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

7

Serve

Spoon the root vegetable puree onto plates, top with the mushroom risotto, and place a poached egg on top. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
