Dried Chanterelle Mushrooms

Chanterelle Mushrooms are among the most popular wild edible mushrooms. These mushrooms vary in color from orange to yellow to white, depending on where they grow.  On the lower surface, underneath the smooth cap, most species have rounded, forked folds that run almost all the way down the stipe, which tapers down seamlessly from the cap. Popular in many parts of the world, Chanterelle Mushrooms are well-loved for their fruity aroma, reminiscent of apricots, and their mildly peppery taste. These mushrooms also offer several notable health benefits. 

How to cook Dried Chanterelle Mushrooms 

There are many ways to cook Chanterelles. Most of the flavorful compounds in chanterelles are fat-soluble, making them good mushrooms to saute' in butter, oil or cream. They also contain smaller amounts of water, which lend the mushrooms well to recipes  involving wine or other cooking alcohols. Many popular methods of cooking chanterelles include them in sautés, souffles, cream sauces and soups. They are not eaten raw as their rich and complex flavor is best released when cooked. Wild Chanterelle Mushrooms can also be used as a great addition to your pasta and rice dishes, as well as a savory side for steaks, chicken and fish. 

Cooking instructions. Steep in warm water for 30 minutes. Remove, rinse and squeeze dry. Cut to desired sizes. Sautee in olive oil or butter, reserve the flavorful soaking liquid, strain and add to your favorite recipe.
