ITALIAN STYLE ZUCCHINI AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and then cut into slices.
• Heat 2 Tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat, then add the garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for about 6 to 8 minutes, sprinkle with a little salt and remove. Put the mushrooms in a plate or bowl and set aside.
• Next, add the other 2 Tbsp of the oil and the sliced zucchini. Sauté and stir frequently, for about 10 minutes.
• When the zucchini are just beginning to show tinges of brown, add the sautéed mushrooms. Keep the pan on the heat.
• Now add the diced tomatoes or puree (move the zucchini to one side and turn the heat up a little to cook the tomatoes a bit before mixing them through) and continue to sauté, turning occasionally. Add salt and pepper. Taste, and add more salt if it's a bit bland. This dish is very flavorful.
• Continue to cook for a few more minutes, then remove from heat. This makes a nice, light summer lunch, or a tasty side dish, along with some crusty bread!

• Wash the two zucchini's, (about eight inches in length each), chop off the ends, and discard.
• Cut the zucchini lengthwise twice and chopped into quarter inch sections.
• Clean about 4 ounces of button mushrooms and sliced them.
• Chop and mince shallot, about one tablespoon worth.
• Heat a skillet with one tablespoon olive oil.
• When the oil stated to shimmer, throw in the minced shallot and kept it moving in the pan until evenly browned.
• Turning the heat to medium-low, throw the sliced mushrooms in, tossed them so the oil evenly coated them.
• Sprinkled a dash (two pinches or 1/8 teaspoon) of kosher salt over the mushrooms.
• After a few seconds, toss them again so the other sides would brown a little.
• Once a decent amount of liquid had evaporated from the mushrooms, add the chopped squash to the pan, sprinkling on an additional dash of salt.
• Turning the heat back up to medium-high, allow the squash to cook, tossing them every ten or fifteen seconds.
• Once some of the zucchini picked up some brown caramelized bits, turn off the heat and pour the vegetables into a bowl.

WILD MUSHROOM AND EPAZOTE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Place the chicken stock in a medium pot and bring to a simmer. Heat the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven until it foams. Add the onion, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook 5 minutes until softened. Add the rice and stir well to coat with the butter. Cook 5 minutes until rice is opaque. Add wine, stir, and cook until it has been absorbed. Lower the heat to low, add one ladle of the chicken stock, and stir. Cook, stirring, until the stock has been absorbed. Continue adding stock and stirring frequently until rice is al dente and most of the stock is gone. Reserve 1/2 cup stock for finishing the dish.
• In the meantime, cut the mushrooms into slices or wedges according to their natures. Keep the various types separate. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for 1 minute then add some olive oil. Add one type of mushroom, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Shake and season with some salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are lightly browned, then add some of the garlic, toss, and saute one minute until its flavor is released. Then remove the mushrooms from the pan and reserve. Return the pan to the heat, add more olive oil and when it smokes add another batch of mushrooms. Continue in this way until all mushrooms have been cooked, wiping out pan occasionally when required.
• When rice is al dente and mushrooms are all cooked, add mushrooms to the rice and stir well. Add some or all of the reserved stock if necessary to give risotto a slightly soupy character. Add grated cheese and epazote, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve immediately.
