Chanterelle risotto with mountain cheese
The chanterelle risotto with mountain cheese is a classic dish of Alpine late summer cuisine. Fresh chanterelles are combined with fine Carnaroli rice and tangy mountain cheese to create a creamy dish. The preparation requires patience when stirring so that the starch from the rice is released and the typical consistency is achieved. A dash of dry white wine and high-quality vegetable stock form the aromatic foundation. The spicy note of the cheese provides the necessary character and makes the dish a real highlight for mushroom lovers and wine connoisseurs alike.
