fennel risotto with lemony trumpet mushroom "scallops"

Our fennel risotto is layered with fennel flavor (braised fennel, crispy roasted fennel and fennel fond broth) and topped with seared trumpet mushroom "scallops". If you haven't tried our mushroom scallops, get on it! They are a delightful vegan textural nod to the seafood variety!

We use the most delectable carnaroli rice (Acquerello) from northern Italy to make our risotto. Fun fact: Acquerello is the only risotto rice that adds its germ back in (the germ is where all the nutrients are located), which allows it to cook like white rice, but have all the added health benefits of brown rice.
