Fall is almost here, the colors of Mother Nature are turning into burnt orange, so welcome this romantic season with a cereals and mushrooms based dish. Rice, barley, farro, steel cuts oats and champignon are the simple and healty ingredients I put 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 little flans with the help of a “coppapasta”, a round shaped cookie cutter mold. Enjoy hot as a first dish or warm as an appetizer.

Buon Appetito!!!
