Chanterelle Risotto

I started foraging for mushrooms as part of my love for hiking. As an artist, I am fascinated by the morphology and ecology of mushrooms—and I love to eat them. I have honed this dish to perfection, thanks to a few years of really bountiful California golden chanterelles, which allowed me to experiment with the recipe. This recipe is also excellent made with black trumpets or any other kind of mushroom. In a good season, feel free to increase the number of chanterelles in this dish.
