Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Dashi

In a saucepan, bring the mushroom dashi to a simmer and keep it warm over low heat.

2

Sauté the Squash

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced patty pan squash and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3

Caramelize the Onions

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and add the caramelized onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

4

Toast the Rice

Add the Arborio rice to the skillet with the onions and stir to coat the rice in the oil. Toast for about 2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.

5

Cook the Risotto

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

6

Finish the Risotto

When the rice is cooked, stir in the sautéed squash, grated Parmesan cheese, and add salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

7

Serve

Spoon the risotto into bowls, top with fresh pea shoots, and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
