Secret Ingredient
Preparing the safrito for the porcini: olive oil, garlic and “nipitella”‘ a wild herb similar to catmint used by Tuscan cooks to flavor mushroom, zucchini and eggplant. The other pan has the safrito for risotto: parsley, carrot, a little onion, and chopped mushroom stalks melted in olive oil.
