Oyster Mushroom Risotto with Black Garlic

Our award-winning risotto is a healthy, ultra-low-processed meal using quality ingredients. Ingredients you won’t find in a supermarket! Simple to make, just add water.

This risotto uses Oyster Mushrooms that we grow on our permaculture farm in Ohau. It also uses Black Garlic that we make. These culinary stars work well together for an incredible aroma, taste and creamy texture. The black garlic adds a stunning dark colour plus an incredible Unami yet sweet flavour that complements the Oyster Mushrooms perfectly.

Everything you need comes in the pack, but feel free to embellish it with additional fresh mushrooms. We recommend adding butter & Parmesan (or butter & Angel Food Parmesan) as you finish it, to add a more delectable & creamy texture.

OGM! is dedicated to producing 100% sustainable, ethical, natural and nutritious foods.

• Sustainable: We are a small-scale grower and food producer with a focus on local and niche markets. Wherever possible we use recycled materials and aim for zero waste. All of our processes, from growing to making food, require low energy and water consumption. Zero chemicals or sprays are used. We use permaculture principles to care for the land that we are entrusted to maintain for future generations.
• Ethical: No animals are harmed in the making of our food. We ensure that our ingredients are ethically sourced. We buy and support other local growers.
• Natural: We are not certified organic but use organic principles just the same. We use natural processes to grow our mushrooms and natural processes to make our food. This is why we favour fermentation as our main production method.
• Nutritious: We are firm believers in functional food, with health and nutrition coming from the food we eat rather than from supplements or medicines.

We know that we cannot produce enough volume to feed the planet, so have focused our production on people that appreciate high-quality food that is packed to the gunnel with health and flavour.
