on the weekends, i stumbled across some interesting mushroom species - chestnut mushrooms, selling at a surprisingly reasonable price. never had these before. the label on the pack says it has a crunchy texture! so i grabbed a packet, thinking chestnut mushroom risotto.

the label says no need to wash... but i was paranoid. after the wash, they started to fall apart =.=



not a lot of mushrooms in the pack, and since they're so fragile, i cooked the mushrooms separate from the rice. cooked a risotto base with an unproportionally large quantity of onion, leek and fennel. hehe, veg are good for you! ;p some grated parmesan and lots of chopped parsley. then stir fried some beef with the chestnut mushrooms, and place it on top of the rice.


-Chestnut mushroom + beef on risotto rice-

mushrooms are nice and slightly crunchy, but only if there are more of them....

more veg for dinner as i also made a fennel and orangeS salad - this time using blood orange and normal orange!! spot the difference?!



look the blood orange flesh - love that ruby colour!!
