Preparation Steps
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
