By Ale Gambini
Need an idea for dinner? Rice, barley, farro, steel cuts oats and champignon are the delicious and hearty ingredients in this recipe. “Funghi trifolati” are Italian-style sautéed mushrooms with an intense flavor of garlic, fresh parsley and white wine. I shaped this dish into rounds with the help of a “coppapasta”, a round shaped cookie cutter mold.
