30 minutes

Smoked risotto with chanterelles is a true gastronomic delight that embodies the spirit of Italian cuisine and the mysterious aroma of the forest. Risotto, originating from northern Italy, is renowned for its creamy texture and depth of flavor. Here, delicate Carnaroli rice absorbs rich notes of chicken broth and white wine, forming an exquisite base. Chanterelles, known for their sweet nutty taste, enrich the dish with a robust mushroom aroma, while a splash of olive oil and butter adds velvety smoothness. The smoky hint of smoking transforms the risotto into a culinary masterpiece with a touch of mystery. Served with Parmesan, parsley, and green onions, it pairs perfectly with a glass of dry white wine. This dish is a warm memory of walks in the forest and cozy evenings with loved ones.
