It’s chanterelle (or as they are called in Sweden “gold of the forest”) season. Which means it’s season for these beautiful yellow mushrooms that can luxuriate everything from pasta to pizza. What’s not to like?
But of all the delicious things you can make with “gold of the forest”, one of our favorite chantarelle recipes is this simple classic – chanterelles fried in butter with cream and served on a slice of toasted sourdough bread. So easy and so insanely good! If you haven’t tried it yet, this is a must try recipe.
If you’re like us, and can’t get enough of these tasty mushrooms you should also try our Chantarelle Galette.
Nice to know: Cleaning your mushrooms can be a quite time killer and you’ve probably heard that you should brush them instead of rinsing them under water. But because chanterelles has a fairly firm texture they won’t lose their taste when rinsed under water.
