We were too full from our delicious lunch in Lucca yesterday to cook our mushrooms, so we made a mushroom risotto tonight.
I still have fresh thyme growing on the balcony and the flavor works very well with the mushrooms.
After the risotto we ate the beautiful figs that lovely Caroline from Rosalena B&B in Ponte a Serraglio dropped in for us. They are the last figs of the season from her tree and they were wonderful. Thank you Carolyn.
Jane, the amazing chef from Del Sonno has promised to talk to me about her cooking soon. Perhaps she can give us some tips on porcini mushrooms while they are still about.
