Shitake Maitake Risotto

I made this risotto which is a good old standby. I use arborio rice with olive oil, garlic, organic chicken stock, and a pinch on Bourbon black pepper. Cooked on medium heat, gradually added the broth, stirred occasionally until creamy.  The mushrooms were sauteed in garlic and olive oil then added to risotto. Topped with raw grated goat cheese from Hendrick's farm and our very own goat Bleu.
