Stuart Brioza’s Mushrooms in Pickle-Brine Butter

Don't toss your pickle brine out! It can be used like vinegar in many dishes! The pickle brine adds a burst of acid to the delicious, buttery mushrooms.

Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu

Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu is a delicious salad, though I will admit a bit time consuming. Pressing all the liquid out of the tofu, then marinating and roasting it, makes this dish so flavorful.

Wild Mushroom Risotto

A friend of mine asked for a risotto recipe that you don't have to laboriously stir. I make this all the time. You start it on the stove top and transfer it to the oven. Risotto is a class of Italian dishes of rice cooked in broth to a creamy consistency. Many types of risotto contain Parmesan cheese, butter, and onion. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. Properly cooked risotto is rich and creamy but still with some resistance or bite: al dente, and with separate grains. The traditional texture is fairly fluid. It is served on flat dishes and it should easily spread out but not have excess watery liquid around the perimeter. It must be eaten at once as it continues to cook in its own heat and can become too dry with the grains too soft.
