Mushroom risotto with Parmesan and truffle oil
Paul Heathcote's mushroom risotto recipe is given a rich boost with the addition of truffle oil and Parmesan. For the mushrooms, use a selection of wild mushrooms or button mushrooms, and if making this for a vegetarian, replace the Parmesan with a cheese free of animal rennet.
