Sauteed Chanterelles Food

SAUTEED CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Cut mushrooms into chunks. Try to keep all the pieces about the same size.
• Saute the garlic and shallots in butter over medium heat until the onions start to turn translucent.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan. Stir every few minutes. (Lots of water in the bottom of the pan is normal.).
• After about 10 minutes (or when your mushroom chunks are a couple minutes from doneness,) drain the juice from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the basil and the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and cook the mushrooms until they're soft but not mushy.
• Enjoy!

SAUTEED FRESH CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Halve chanterelles lengthwise or cut Portobellos into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a large non-stick skillet melt butter with oil over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté mushrooms, stirring, with salt and pepper to taste until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring, until liquid is evaporated and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. In a bowl toss mushrooms with parsley and lemon juice.

SAUTéED CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Cut the base of the stems of the chanterelles. If the mushrooms are very gritty, rinse them quickly under cold running water and pat them dry. Otherwise, clean them carefully with a soft paint or pastry brush. Cut the large mushrooms into bite-size pieces; leave the smaller ones whole.
• Heat the butter in a frying pan. Add the chanterelles and saute for two to three minutes or until they start to become soft. Add the wine and when it has evaporated, add the chicken stock. Cook over high heat until it has almost evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley, thyme or chives.
