/4 Cup Olive oil  
Tablespoon Butter  
Onion; thinly sliced  
−1/2 Cup Arborio rice  
/2 Cup White wine  
Cup Chicken broth  
Cup Thick−cut wild mushroom pieces (such as chanterelles; porchini, or Shiitakes)  
Teaspoon Fresh thyme  
Teaspoon Finely−chopped fresh parsley leaves  
Quail eggs; fried  
Season the pork with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, whisk the cumin and  
olive oil together. Place the meat in a glass baking dish. Pour the marinade  
over the meat and marinate for 2 hours, under refrigeration. Sear in a hot  
cast−iron skillet over very high heat for 2 minutes on each side. Remove  
from the pan and allow to rest for a couple of minutes. Melt 3 tablespoons  
of the butter in a heavy saucepan. Add the onions and saute for 4 minutes,  
or until softened. Add the rice and cook for 3 minutes, stirring with a  
wooden spoon. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add 1/2 cup of the stock and  
stir vigorously with a wooden spoon and allow to simmer and evaporate before  
adding more broth. Continue cook, adding broth as needed. After 15 minutes,  
begin tasting for correct doneness −− firm but tender. Add the remaining 3  
tablespoons of butter, the mushrooms and roast pork. Season with salt and  
pepper. Mix thoroughly. Garnish with thyme, parsley and the fried quail  
eggs. This recipe yields 6 appetizer servings.
