How to make porcini and black trumpet risotto
Soak the dried porcini mushrooms and dried black trumpet mushrooms in warm water 20-30min until softened, then drain.
Finely chop the onions and garlic.
In a large pan, cook the onions until soft, then add the garlic and cook briefly.
Add the rice and stir well so it is coated and lightly toasted.
Add the rehydrated mushrooms and a little of the soaking liquid if desired for extra flavor.
Gradually add the oat milk and water or white wine, stirring as the rice cooks and absorbs the liquid.
Add porcini powder, salt, and pepper, and continue stirring until the risotto is creamy and the rice is tender.
Finish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
