Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound chanterelles
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine
About 3/4 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, fresh thyme leaves or chives

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.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 pounds fresh chanterelles or Portobellos
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
fresh lemon juice to taste

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh chanterelles: Look for chanterelles with a firm, meaty texture and a bright yellow-orange color. Avoid any mushrooms that are slimy, wrinkled, or have dark spots.
  • Clean chanterelles properly: Brush off any dirt or debris from the chanterelles with a soft brush. You can also rinse them quickly under cold water, but be careful not to soak them, as this can dilute their flavor.
  • Use high-quality butter: Butter is a key ingredient in sautéed chanterelles, so it's important to use a good-quality butter that has a rich flavor. Unsalted butter is best, as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Cook the chanterelles over medium-high heat: This will help to develop their flavor and create a nice golden-brown crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing chanterelles, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy dish.
  • Season to taste: Once the chanterelles are cooked, season them to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary.

Conclusion:

Sautéed chanterelles are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are also a great way to add a touch of elegance to your next meal. With their earthy flavor and delicate texture, sautéed chanterelles are sure to impress your guests.
