Kettle full of mushrooms on the fire
Chanterelle Mushrooms
Ingredients
½ pound freshly picked chanterelle mushrooms,
dried & sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 oz white wine
2 tbsp cold butter, cut into small pieces.
Instructions
Start chanterelles in a dry pan to cook off excess moisture—about five minutes. Once they’ve collapsed, add olive oil, shallot, and garlic. Sauté about three minutes. Add the white wine, and deglaze the pan until all wine is evaporated. Add cold butter piece by piece until a smooth sauce consistency is achieved.
