Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

In a heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. (Approx. 1 minute)

02

Step
7 mins

Add the minced shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, but not browned. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes, releasing their delicate aroma.

03

Step
10 mins

Introduce the quartered chanterelle mushrooms to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their moisture, about 7-10 minutes. Allow the moisture to evaporate, concentrating their earthy flavor.

04

Step
8 mins

Gently pour in the heavy whipping cream. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, allowing the cream to thicken slightly and coat the mushrooms evenly. This should take approximately 5-8 minutes.

05

Step
1 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and ice-cold water to form a smooth slurry. This prevents lumps from forming in the sauce.

06

Step
3 mins

Gradually drizzle the flour slurry into the mushroom and cream mixture, stirring constantly. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken to your desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes.

07

Step
1 mins

Season the dish with sea salt, herbes de Provence, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Be mindful of the salt content, as the cream will reduce and intensify the flavors.

08

Step
1 mins

Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme) for an added touch of elegance. (Approx. 1 minute)

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the pan along with the cream.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of vegetable broth or milk to thin it out.
Chanterelle mushrooms vary in size and shape. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure they are tender.
Serve this delightful dish over freshly made pasta, creamy polenta, or grilled crusty bread for a truly memorable culinary experience.
