My memories about Porcini

The area were I grow up, Irpinia, in the south of Italy, Porcini are really common. The people go in the fall for long walk in the mountains and they look for Porcini Mushrooms under tree. Their color and nice small make easy to recognize them so you are sure don’t take a wrong one. The people most the time collect big basket and they frozen or dry for the year. One of way we were eating mushrooms at my home was in the Risotto.

Risotto with Porcini Mushrooms is really tasty. In the recipe I m proposing here I used dry Porcini, they are good to make the broth and give a delicious tasty and great smell. It is not easy to find this kind of mushroom in the market but yesterday I was surprise to find them in one moment the nice memory of good risotto that my mom was always making come to my mind. I decided to make it was like my memory recognize so I could not miss to propose you.
