How do you Cook Chanterelle Mushrooms?

Most commonly, Chanterelles are cooked by sautéing. We believe in dry-sauteing first to expel the natural liquid, then finishing in butter or olive oil with minced shallots, garlic and a touch of white wine. Complementary herbs include thyme, rosemary, chervil and tarragon. You can also roast them.

They are an uncommonly versatile mushrooms, lending themselves to a wide range of dishes:

• Cream-based sauces and soups
• Adorn pasta and risotto
• Topping for pizza
• Accompany chicken, pork, beef, fish
• Omelets, with fresh herbs
• For leftover Chanterelles, drying is not advised, but you can pickle them.
• They also freeze well. Just sauté, cool and vacuum seal.
