I love mushrooms. They’re such a marvelous vegetable. Okay technically they’re a fungus, but who likes to think of them like that? But they’re packed with nutrients, incredibly low cal and delicious. So when I found, not only fresh oyster mushrooms, but fresh shitaki mushrooms as well at my local Asian market, I really wanted to make a dish that would showcase all that marvelous mushroom flavor. Toss in some baby bella mushrooms and you get this delicious, creamy risotto. Makes 4 3/4 cup servings at 374 calories and 13 grams of fat.
