Mushroom Season

Besides great wild salmons, the other great wild product this time of the year here is mushrooms. For the last couple of years, it was rainy at this time of the year and the wild mushrooms were very wet and wormy. This year however was great. The ground is moist but the sky is clear so the mushrooms are very very good and plentiful. I picked up some pine and some chanterelles from Louis of Wild Products. I made rice with the pine for the salmon dinner; unfortunately my camera was out of battery to take pictures. Here I make this risotto with the chanterelles, onion, chicken stock, Parmigiano Reggiano, butter and rice. At the last moment, I added some crumbled roasted salmon from the other night. So very BC in the fall...
