Risotto with chanterelles and dill jelly

4 servings

40 minutes

Risotto is prepared in the most textbook way: from arborio rice with white wine and constant stirring. Chanterelles are added to it in two ways. First - into the thick of the rice boiling in the broth to give it a forest aroma, then - fried separately and put on top as a decoration. But the main hocus-pocus Andrey Zhdanov, chef of the Modus restaurant, leaves for the end, decorating the finished risotto with a thin spiral of dill jelly. This decor looks fantastic, and if you really want to repeat it at home, then there is nothing impossible in the technology, you just need to prepare a pastry syringe and a dish with ice in advance so that the spirals instantly harden.
