This is the last of my truffle thread from our #TruffleHunt weekend (woo hoo says @minnie ).

So, my friend Stan (short for Stanislaw) contacted me THE NIGHT BEFORE THE TRUFFLE HUNT.

Stan: You're truffle hunting?
Me: Yes, a bit late for you though.
SO: He can take my place.
Me: Hell no. Liz (his wife) would never forgive him.

So we agreed to lunch.

Two days after our #TruffleHunt , Stan came over for lunch. I cooked mushroom risotto, with lots of butter, as my truffle had impregnated the arborio with its aroma.

Here is the truffle-impregnated arborio in my multi-cooker. Wish I had more mushrooms, like the wild ones (but that's another season - autumn after the rains).

I love my multi-cooker because it has a risotto setting. So I don't have to watch over it - it's set and forget. This is me stirring it after it was cooked.

I used pre-made, pre-grated pizza cheese so that it would blend well with the cooked risotto.

Looking back now, I forgot to add some dry white wine to the mix.

Anyway, here's the outcome - creamy, cheesy mushroom risotto

Getting the table ready for the truffle shaving (in a jar with some uncooked arborio). We also had a bottle of the Pastoralist (review from weeks back).

SO talked too much to Stan, so by the time we sat to eat the risotto, it cooled and turned yellow. Ugh.

Just spent about 3 weeks along that northern coast in Spain. Found a great little restaurant in Navia. They had lots of small vineyard wines. They explained and had us taste the Galician wines. I was surprised how good they were.

Asturias next door with their cider isn't bad either. Such a different vibe up there. The Celtic culture.

Yes, that's where we were. In Ribadesella, and a little port town next to Navia, and Oviedo. Haven't been to Galicia proper in maybe 8 years? Asturias has special meaning to me. It is probably where my family migrated from to Cuba.
