INGREDIENTS

  • Dried Goods

    • 2 ounces dried chanterelle mushrooms
  • Condiments

    • 1 ½ teaspoons butter
    • 1 teaspoon truffle oil (Optional)
  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 chopped onion
    • 2 shallots, minced
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Fresh Produce

    • 🍄 3 ounces sliced fresh button mushrooms
  • Grains

    • 1 (12 ounce) package Arborio rice
  • Liquids

    • ½ cup dry white wine
    • 1 quart hot chicken stock
    • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Cheese

    • 2 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, or to taste
  • Spices

    • Ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Cover chanterelle mushrooms with hot water, cover, and set aside to soften for 30 minutes. Once soft, remove mushrooms from water and chop; discard water.

2

Melt butter along with truffle oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, shallot, and garlic; cook and stir two minutes until the onion begins to soften. Add fresh mushrooms; continue cooking until mushroom softens and begin to release their liquid. Stir in chopped chanterelle mushrooms, and cook 3 minutes more.

3

Add Arborio rice; cook and stir for a few minutes until rice looks glossy and is well coated with onion mixture. Stir in white wine and cook until nearly evaporated.

4

Reduce heat to medium; add 1/3 of the hot chicken stock. Cook and stir until chicken stock has been mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes. The risotto should be simmering gently while you stir in chicken stock. Add 1/2 of the remaining stock, and stir for 5 minutes more. Finally add remaining stock, and continue cooking until risotto is creamy and rice is tender, about 5 minutes more. The rice should not be completely soft but still have a little firmness when you bite into it. You can add a little water if needed to cook the rice to this state.

5

Remove risotto from the heat, and stir in heavy cream and Gorgonzola cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
