Golden Chanterelle Risotto Recipe
Overview:
INGREDIENTS:
Preparation:
Begin by cleaning your golden chanterelles with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
Chop the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop your onion and mince the garlic.
In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil then sauté onions until they become translucent.
Add in the garlic and continue sautéing until fragrant.
Stir in your prepared golden chanterelles and cook until they are tender.
Add Arborio rice into the pan stirring continuously so that each grain gets coated with oil.
Pour in white wine while continuing to stir until it's fully absorbed by the rice.
Gradually add stock one ladle at a time ensuring each addition is absorbed before adding more. Continue this process till all stock has been used up and risotto becomes creamy but still al dente (firm when bitten).
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
