Does anyone here have a recipe for Chantrel mushrooms?
A friend of mine brought me a bag of them yesterday and I have no idea how to cook them except to just saute them in butter and onions.

Yep...and you are really lucky to get a bag of them! Chanterelles have a distinctive enough flavor that they hold up well with other foods...saute
with a little garlic oil and serve on grilled fish...or saute with shallots, olive oil, slices (rings) of guajillo chiles and scallops and/or
prawns...or you can saute them and put them in a pan with seasoned bread crumbs and cheese on top and broil...
Hope that helps...happy eating!

Thanks!
The garlic and fish thing sounds good. (I love anything with garlic) I'll try that. The scallop dish also sounds good, too bad I ate the scallops
yesterday, guess I'll have to shopping.

You're making me green with envy, Debra--I used to pick chanterelles on Whidbey. They have such a great flavor that I like them sauteed in butter,
with a little flour added and then liquid for thickening, and just served over toast as a snack.

after living in Oregon where we could pick them every year I too am green with envy. I just brush them off real good and also do a quick saute' with
butter and garlic....and that little bit of flour for thickening. What a wonderful delicacy for this area......enjoy??? oh also just a hint of white
wine also goes good with them while cooking of course.....and drinking afterwards.....

Saute in butter and olive oil, deglaze pan with Madera wine if you have it, or any that you do. Serve over sliced Tri-Tip steak with a glass of
Zinfandel.

How about a chantrelle souffle?
Souffle of Fresh Chantrelle Mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound fresh chanterelle mushrooms, sliced
3 shallots, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
5 large eggs, separated
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 2-quart soufflé dish.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chanterelles and shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until moisture is evaporated, about 15
minutes. Whisk in flour, then gradually blend in half-and-half and wine. Stir in tarragon, salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat until thick,
about 3 minutes. Stir about 1/2-cup hot mixture into egg yolks, then return to pan and stir to blend. Remove from heat and cool while beating egg
whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold half of the egg whites into mushroom mixture. Carefully fold in remaining whites.
Pour mixture into prepared soufflé dish and bake 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately.
Makes 6 servings.

Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes with olive oil, salt, pepper and chopped shallots, turning several times until tender and slightly crispy at the
edges. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve as a side to smoked elk tenderloin with port wine reduction and horseradish-spiked mashed fingerling
potatoes. Recommended wine -- 2002 Marquis Phillips Shiraz. Yeah, baby!

Funny you should ask
Yer almost there......
I could reel off a few good recipes but my all time favorite is a chantrelle omelette.
Remember, mushrooms must be cooked well in order to soften the tough cell wall. That makes the mushrooms beneficial in your diet.
Sautee' the shrooms in white wine, butter and garlic. Set aside. Grill up some sweet Maui onions till clear. Set aside.
Using and omlette or non-stick pan, cook beaten eggs (3-4) w/small amount of milk till 3/4 done. Spread a large amount of grilled shrooms and a
smaller layer of onions. On top of that shred some good Jack or similar cheese. Fold over and finish cooking till cheese melts.
I make a sauce for the meal consisting of shrooms, wine and a broth using clam juice or chicken broth and a small amount of cornstarch. Reduce till
med thick.
Garnish with a couple cooked chantrelles and finely chopped chives or green onions.
Makes a premier meal. Trust me!

and another favorite...yummy on a winter day
We love mushrooms...and the family fun of hunting for and picking mushrooms!
This is a killer soup.
Chantrelle Sweet Potato Cream Soup
This is a mild, subtle soup whose flavors are tuned to flatter the sweet fruitiness of the chantrelle. If you wish, you can augment the nutmeg with a
dash of powdered cumin to add an additional hint of mystery.
1.5 lbs sweet potatoes or yams
1/2 lbs baby potatoes (red, idaho, russet, etc.)
8 oz. chantrelles, chopped coarse
5 oz. broccoli, chopped fine
2 shallots, chopped fine
2 cups chicken stock
2 T butter
2 T sherry
1 cup milk
1/2 t nutmeg
1 T chopped fresh basil
1 T chopped fresh parsley
dash of salt
Start by peeling the potatoes, cut them into cubes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes, until soft. Put them in a blender or food
processor, along with the nutmeg and chicken stock, and blend until smooth, thick and creamy.
Clean the chantrelles and chop them into small chunks. Chop the shallots very finely, and combine them with the chantrelles and butter in the bottom a
stock pot. Sauté the shallots with the chantrelles on medium heat until the shallots are translucent (about 10 minutes), then add the finely chopped
broccoli and the sherry. Cook for an additional 3 minutes on higher heat, stirring.
Now add the puréed potato mixture, along with 1 cup of milk. Stir to heat evenly, but avoid boiling. Remove from heat, and ladle onto soup plates.
Garnish the top with chopped basil and parsley before serving.
Simply good! Don't forget your glass of wine!
