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).

Probably your best bet is to look for 'conservas'. Those are various seafood items in tins. Huge In Portugal, especially, where they have entire stores devoted to conservas. I'm positive I saw a tin of percebes. My daughter found Galician pulpo. I'll check. Been to the Belem tart place a few times.

You gotta post photos on here - and let us salivate.

And join the #WineClub with tasting notes and photos. It's like travelling around the world.

Here's Puerto Ortiguera, across the river from Navia in Asturias. Our place was just outside the photo on the right. Used to be whaling and fishing, now tiny town with one (unmarked) store and one bar. Kids jump off the pier into the damned cold water all day. North Atlantic Asturias
