Girolle Mushroom Beanotto™

The creamy indulgence of a regular risotto, but with all the BRILLIANCE of a BEAN. Made in half the time, full of protein + fibre, and JUST AS DELICIOUS. White beans in particular are a starchier bean + produce a creamy bean-stock which is fundamental to these dishes to recreating that similar creaminess to a risotto. We love this one during the Autumnal months, using rich, earthy girolle mushrooms. Perfect for a cosy dinner.

Directions

1

First, clean your girolles REAL WELL, and while keeping them dry (you don’t ever want them to soak). You can do this by scraping them with a small knife or by dunking them in water for a few seconds and draining + drying them right away.

2

Melt the butter in a large pan over a medium heat and fry the mushrooms until browned - roughly 5 minutes. Once brown, add the onions and thyme leaves and cook for 8-10 minutes until the onion has softened, stirring often. Add salt only at the end of this step - this ensures mushrooms stay tender! (We want them to fry, not braise.)

3

Add the garlic and cook for a further minute until fragrant.

4

Turn the heat up to high and add the wine. Reduce until there is virtually no liquid in the mixture left.

5

Reduce the heat back to medium and stir through the beans with their bean stock.

6

Keep cooking until the beanotto has reduced into a similar, creamy consistency to a risotto. If it looks a little dry, swill the empty bean jar with water and pour that in too.

7

Just before serving, add a dollop of creme fraiche, grated parmesan, chopped parsley and a few cracks of black pepper. Give everything a stir until combined. Check seasoning.

8

Serve with extra black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and some extra parmesan and parsley, if you like.
