Chanterelle Risotto
I was recently sent an Italian-made Lagostina Risotto Pot. It was like being a kid on Christmas morning when it arrived in the mail. My local grocery store has had a great supply of chanterelle mushrooms so I made this creamy chanterelle risotto. The risotto cooked beautifully in the pot and it turned out creamy, flavorful, and so delicious… we devoured every last bite. The generous people at Lagostina want one of my readers to experience cooking risotto in their very own Lagostina Risotto Pot and are hosting a giveaway!!! See the bottom of this recipe post for details.
How to Make Chanterelle Risotto
Heat the chicken broth in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cut the stems off of the chanterelle mushrooms and add them to the chicken broth. Simmer for 15 minutes to allow the mushrooms to flavor the broth. Strain the mushroom stems from the broth and discard them.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large heavy bottomed pot or large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the shallots, sliced mushrooms, and thyme leaves to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the arborio rice and toast for 2 minutes stirring occasionally.
Deglaze the pan with the wine and stir scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low. Stir constantly until the liquid has fully absorbed.
Add a large ladle of warm chicken broth to the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has fully absorbed. Add another large ladle of warm chicken broth and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has fully absorbed. As it cooks the rice will take on a creamy consistency as it begins to release its natural starches.
Continue adding stock, a ladle at a time, for 20-30 minutes or until the grains are tender but still firm to the bite, without being crunchy. Stir in the butter and Parmesan and toss to coat evenly.
Taste the risotto and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, if needed, to taste. Top with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

I would definitely start with a butternut squash risotto. I have always wanted to try making risotto but was too intimidated. Maybe this pot would be just the thing to give me the confidence I’m lacking!
By the way, I love your blog – I live in Portland, share the same name as your sister, and have been to McCall ID many times – it is so fun to see your family pictures and read about your trips 🙂
Thank you!
Dana
I’d make your chanterelle risotto. Looks delicious.
In love with this pot! My grandmother was Italian and she and her sister made us a tomto based risotto that I would try. We craved it and looked forward to it so much.
what a beautiful pot! The first thing I’d cook would be this chanterelle mushroom risotto you’ve given us but if chanterelles are gone for the season then my favorite seafood risotto.
This looks like a beautiful pot to own. I’ve never made risotto before and I would love to cook your recipe for risotto in the Lagostina Risotto pot.
Yes please! 🙂
Our stores have lots of chanterelles also. I would pair your recipe with Alaska King salmon that I caught in Sitka in June, cooked on a cedar plank on my gas grill. Orange and yellow on the plate with a nice Pinot N.
This pot is gorgeous!!
Risotto of course! Probably something basic like Parmesan risotto!
What a delicious recipe for risotto. I had no idea there were risotto pots. learn something everyday.
The first thing I would cook in this pot, is your wonderful recipe for risotto. Thanks for your great blog.
I would make a mushroom risotto!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this fabulous looking Lagostina Risotto Pot!
This looks good!
This look sooo delicious Pam :))
I fell in love with cooking many years ago after watching a chef demo making mushroom risotto! It is my favorite thing to make and requested by my family whenever we get together. That pan looks perfect for the task!
What an amazing gift and give away Pam 🙂
What a beautiful piece of kitchen equipment! I would try a butternut squash and parmesan risotto recipe.
Wow. You had me at Risotto. Then, adding any kind of Mushroom, made this dish something I’ve bookmarked. And a giveaway pan? I just heard the angels sing. LOL. I will be 60 in a couple months. My daughter took me out for my last birthday, to a wonderful Italian Cafe. On my Bucket List, was Risotto. She knows that I watch the food channel constantly. Oh my. It was a simple (is there such a thing?) cheesy Risotto. She also took a couple bites, and was hooked! If I am so blessed to win this, my first try will be another cheesy (thinking gouda & maybe some parmesan…depends on my budget that week), with mushrooms for sure! I’m thinking I might add in some fresh Spinach, or Swiss Chard. 2 more of my favorites. Anyway, Thank you for the opportunity & thank you most of all for what looks like an awesome recipe that doesn’t seem so intimidating. Oh, don’t know why this post is double spacing. Sorry
Glad to see that it didn’t double space when I posted. My computer’s been whacky lately. LOL, this post is also double spaced.
I would make a mushroom risotto!
The risotto looks absolutely mouthwatering!
The absolutely delicious looking Chanterelle Risotto recipe I just came across. Can’t wait to try it. Of course it would be great to try it for the first time in this fabulous pot.
I would cook some sort of mushroom risotto. Love this pot, it would look so good in my kitchen. Thanks for the opportunity to win one.
I will call my daughter and ask for her risotto recipe if I win! THANKS for the chance!
The weather is telling me it’s about time to make risotto, this pot would be perfect!
Oh my goodness, I LOVE cooking risotto. This pot is beautiful!! Would love to win! I would make a corn and pancetta risotto 🙂
As much as I cook, I’ve never made risotto – this sounds like a great first recipe and to be lucky enough to win this pot would give me the excuse to try.
I’d make caprese risotto, my family’s favorite.
I will cook a delicious, creamy risotto!
I would make an asparagus and mushroom risotto
I’ve never made risotto before so I would try that. Thanks!
Pretty please! I’ll up my risotto game and try this lovely recipe you’ve posted here today, and keep them coming after that.
Oooo… I want to say I’d make a risotto first but looking at it, that pot looks great for making a gumbo roux. The kind you stir constantly for like fourty minutes until it takes on the color of an old copper penny. Its so tiring on my hands I only make it once or twice a year really.
I love risotto! I would make risotto with shrimp and zucchini!
What a beautiful vessel! I would make a spicy shrimp risotto in it.
Very generous give away, are you Santa?! Just the icing on the cake of your wonderful blog, thank you!

I love risotto and would love this pot! I think my first risotto would be your mushroom one. Thanks for the giveaway chance!
That looks like a nice pot! Were I fortunate enough to win it, I would definitely make this mushroom risotto first. Then, I’d probbaly try another favorite, an asparagus risotto.
Adore risotto but being handicapped the kitchen isn’t equipped for standing for long periods so I dearly miss it, especially truffled risotto!
I do a Risotto that mocks Eggs Benedict.
I have a special asparagus risotto recipe that I love to make in the spring…might have to make it early if I won!
The Craftmen at Lagostina look like they made this Risotto pot with my Grandfather’s Christmas Eve Sicilian Cioppion Risotto in mind.
That shine of the Stainless Steal and the colors of the seafood and spices inside would be a perfect sight on our table.
I would make chicken tortilla soup
That pan is absolutely beautiful! I would cook a butternut squash risotto topped with crispy thick cut bacon pieces, parmesan & drizzled with balsamic crema.
I would totally attempt to recreate the magic in the pictures above…my my does that look good. fingers crossed.
What a beautiful pan! After being in Italy this past spring I would try a truffle ristotto like I had there. What a great prize
Beautiful pot. Would love to cook a wonderful saffron risotto or lobster risotto. Would just like to cook anything in that beautiful cookware.
We make a beef, champagne, and mushroom risotto to go with a standing rib roast for Christmas.
I would love to make my lemon and adp
I would love to make my friend’s lemon and asparagus risotto. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Happy Holidays.
Wow!!!!Mushroom Risotto for all my gluten free friends.
I would definitely try this recipe. I have always been intimidated by risotto!
I guess risotto
I’d make a butternut squash risotto 🙂
Love risotto. Healthy and versatile. We enjoy rice in one form or another at least twice a week. A little onion, garlic, chicken broth and heavy cream and a lot of freshly grated parm. cheese.
Mushroom Risotto
Gorgeous pot….what else could I start with other than your gorgeous chanterelle risotto, but will add aspargus. Great blog . thank you.
I would make a mushroom rissotto with vegetable broth.
I love a jambalaya-style risotto dish made with spicy cajun sausage and chicken. Your recipe sounds delicious too!
I would make your Chanterelle Risotto. Looks delicious!
Love your blog Pam and use your recipes all the time! Maybe I’ll start commenting regularly, but for now, just commenting for the chance of getting that pot! B]
I’ll make a simple, basic risotto (one of the few things I can make that is reliably delicious and without a recipe.) There is nothing like risotto when it is perfectly done.
I’d be making my FIRST risotto, so, probably a basic recipe. But, cheesy! Then I can only get better from there with a pot like this!
Wow! What a beautiful risotto pot! I’ve never made risotto but have eaten it and loved it so I look forward to making some in this pot!
The recipe in the risotto pot looks awesome!!! That’s would be the first one I try!!! Have a feeling if I won this pot – it would be the only pot in the house to get used! My husband is a wonderful cook and tries new recipes all the time.
Would love to make this recipe – looks delicious and with the right pot…can’t go wrong!
I would love to try a crabmeat risotto in this pot. Here in Maryland where crabmeat is abundant and I love risotto.
I am knew to making risotto. Was always afraid it was too difficult but I getting better each time – even making my own stock. Have not ventured into making many variations but the Chanterelle Risotto sounds delicious. I love the pot – would be useful and a lovely addition to any kitchen. Thanks for the recipe.
I would make a mushroom and bacon risotto with some scallops. MMMMM
Well, it looks like a beautiful pot ! It inspires me to cook risotto….something I’ve never done…yet !
That pot lid threw me off. I was trying to figure out why your wood floor was reflecting off the top of the pot 😉
