Roasted peanuts, chopped capsicum, sultanas and peas all go well.
I use a lemon juice, garlic, mustard and honey dressing.

10g dried porcini
150ml tepid water
200g risotno rice carnaroli vialone nano or arboro
1 small onion finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
250g mixed mushrooms thinly sliced

Soak the dried porcini in the tepid water for 15 minutes then squeeze dry reserving the soaking liquor.
Simmer the rice in a large pan of boiling lightly salted water until al dente.
Drain and if the starch still remains rinse with a kettle of boiling water.
Meanwhile fry the onion gently until soft without colouring.
Add the fresh mushrooms soaked porcini and parsley together with a little salt to help extract the juices of the mushrooms.
Mix the rice with the mushrooms adding 2 tablespoons of the soaking liquor for moisture. Mix the vinaigrette ingredients together thoroughly and stir into the rice.
Adjust the seasoning and serve chilled.

Salad is something you usually associate with summer. For this dish you have to choose a lovely late summers day because you want to use wild mushrooms which are in the main available from the beginning of August to the end of October. I use the best risotto rice available carnaroli not for the creaminess for which it is famous and which is normally the reason for choosing it but for the big big grains which being very absorbent swell up and remain slighty al dente. For the mushrooms you will need at least three different kinds but you can use as many as you wish. At this time of year you can find ceps horn of plenty
and oyster mushrooms but you should always check a reference book before
picking them (qv Mushrooms reference book). If wild mushrooms are not available the best
replaccments are the cultivated shiitake oyster and button mushrooms with the addition of some dried porcini for taste.
