Hi Lindsey
I have noticed in Delia’s oven baked risotto the recipe asks for brown grilled mushrooms. Can you explain what these are?

Hello,
Dark gilled mushrooms are often the ones you’ll find in an economy pack. The look like a small version of large white flat mushrooms.
You are more likely to find Portabellini mushrooms nowadays, which are about the same size, still dark gilled but they are a chestnut brown colour. We often use Portabellini mushrooms on place of dark gilled.
Or you can also use Chestnut mushrooms, these are closed so don’t expose their gills but they are lovely and firm and taste good.
Best wishes
Lindsey
