FUNGI JON MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH MISO DASHI

SERVES 4 TO 6

Recipe courtesy of The Drake Kitchen + Bar, opening Spring 2023 in Orlando. For more information, visit thedrakeorl.com.

1 pound mushrooms: King Oysters, oysters, Black Pearls, creminis or mixed

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided, more if needed

2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1½ cups arborio rice

4 garlic cloves, sliced

1/4 cup miso paste, white or red

1 cup dry white wine

1/4 cup mirin (Japanese cooking wine)

6 to 7 cups mushroom dashi or vegetable stock, divided

3/4 cup butter, chilled ½ fresh lime, juiced

2 teaspoons furikake (Japanese spicy blend)

1/4 cup Thai basil, coarsely chopped all around, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper and adding a bit more oil if necessary. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pot, add rice and stir for about 30 seconds. Lower the flame to medium- high, add garlic and stir, cooking for about 30 seconds to release the aroma. Add miso and stir to coat the rice, cook for about 15 seconds. Add wine, mirin, and half of the cooked mushrooms and stir, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir over medium heat until the wine is almost evaporated.

Recipe featured in Edible Orlando (Winter 2023), available now in many Central Florida locations.

Tear or cut mushrooms into bite-size pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive in a heavy-bottomed pot over high heat and add mushrooms in a single layer to sear. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in two batches if needed.

Flip and turn the mushrooms to sear

Add 1 cup of dashi or stock, stirring often until mushrooms are softened and broth is absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes. Add remaining broth ½ cup at a time, stirring to incorporate and waiting until it’s absorbed before adding more. Cook until rice is tender with a little bite and all of the broth has been incorporated (it should still be on the wet/soupier side).

Add remaining mushrooms, a pinch of salt, butter, and lime juice, stir to combine. Turn off the heat. Taste and adjust salt. Before serving, sprinkle with furikake and basil.

Dear Neighbors,

Welcome to The Hillman Report. As we approached the end of 2022, the real estate market maintained its momentum, but indications of stabilization became more apparent. Despite reports of a sluggish market and falling prices making headlines, our experience in Central Florida tells a different story.

Prices have continued to appreciate at an impressive rate; time on market has increased significantly, and active levels of inventory are showing signs of growth. With continued economic uncertainty, there is plenty of interest in what is happening in the housing market.

“Growing inventory levels should eventually create more balanced market conditions,” says Sam Hillman with Fannie Hillman & Associates. “I don’t anticipate any shifts to occur overnight, but the rapid price increases we’ve seen recently should begin to level off a bit.”

The number of homes for sale in the Central Florida market has started to tick up, while prices continue an upward trend. In the 4th quarter of 2022, we saw Single Family Home prices increase by 14.5% in Orange

County; inventory increased by an impressive 133.8% compared to the 4th quarter of 2021. The stats were somewhat similar in Seminole County, with Single Family Home prices increasing by 9.0% and inventory increasing by 112.5%. Months of supply in both counties increased to 2.1 months and 1.9 months, respectively.

New listings and closed sales activity have both declined when compared to the 4th quarter of last year, with closed sales seeing a more significant slowdown. Multiple offer situations continue to be commonplace, however, we are seeing fewer competing offers than in past quarters.
