Three Mushroom 

Risotto
by Kait Nolan

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.

1. Heat the oil and butter over medium heat, until butter is melted.
