My boyfriend brought home a huge maitake mushroom he found in the woods one day when I was having a horrible day. It was his version of bringing me flowers. This was one of the recipes I came up with.

Saute onions and garlic in butter until onions are soft and translucent.

Step 2

Add chopped mushrooms and saute until they're soft and releasing their water. Stir in rice and sage.
Step 3

Add sherry and simmer until reduced by half, approx.20 minutes.
Step 4

Add cream and simmer, uncovered, for 45-60min, stirring occasionally. Add salt to taste if desired. The final product should be creamy in consistency with very little liquid.
