These are the kinds of mushrooms that talked in class. They smoked, they drank… they rode motorcycles without helmets, taking Dead Man's Curve nearly parallel to the ground. These are some wild, wild mushrooms we're serving up to you, combined with meaty steak, rich and buttery pine nuts, chives, Asiago, and a burst of lemon at the end. Can a mere risotto contain such crazy? This one can. Tip: Want to get the most juice out of your lemon? Before cutting, microwave the lemon for 15-20 seconds to "soften" the fruit. Then, gently roll the softened fruit on your work surface while pressing on it with your palm. Finally, give yourself some serious mechanical advantage by placing a cut half in between the arms of a pair of tongs to make squeezing much easier.
