Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) Arborio rice
  • 4 cups (960ml) vegetable broth, warmed
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (100g) fresh chanterelle mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • ½ cup (120ml) dry white wine
  • ½ cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat vegetable broth in a separate pot over low heat.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add sliced chanterelle mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until they are tender and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
  4. Stir in Arborio rice, coating it with the oil, onion, and mushroom mixture, for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the dry white wine, stirring constantly until it is absorbed by the rice.
  6. Begin adding the warmed vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring continuously until absorbed. Repeat until the rice is al dente and creamy (about 20 minutes).
  7. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and unsalted butter until creamy.
  8. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
