Oyster Mushroom Risotto with Black Garlic

A healthy, ultra-low processed meal using quality ingredients you will not find in a supermarket. Just add water!

This risotto uses the Oyster Mushroom,  grown on our permaculture farm in Ohau, with our Black Garlic. These culinary stars work well together and add an incredible aroma, taste and creamy texture. The black garlic adds a stunning dark colour and an incredible Unami yet sweet flavour that complements the Oyster Mushrooms well.

Everything you need comes in the pack, but feel free to embellish it with additional fresh mushrooms. We recommend adding butter and Parmesan as you finish it to add a more creamy texture.
