Since in Ukraine where I grew up, Chanterelles are abundant, we almost always could find them on the markets and used them in our everyday recipes along with other wild mushrooms.
Chanterelles are chewy when cooked and have a beautiful earthy and woodsy flavor.

What is the best way to cook Chanterelles?
Chanterelle mushrooms are dense and if cooked right will retain their crispiness in the final dish. That's why most chefs prefer sautéing Chanterelles versus boiling or marinating them.
Sautéing Chanterelles in butter allows to cook these wild mushrooms in minutes yet preserving their micronutrients and amazing woodsy flavor.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Before cooking make sure to thoroughly wash Chanterelle mushrooms, clean all the dirt and trim the ends. If the mushrooms are too big, slice them in half.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegan butter in a large non stick or cast iron skillet on a medium heat. Add Chanterelles. Mushrooms will release lots of liquid so cook them stirring from time to time until all liquid evaporates, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and add onion. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt and cook until onion is translucent and slightly brown. Transfer onion and mushrooms to a plate.
- In the same skillet heat 3 tablespoons of oil. Add potatoes, season with ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper and stir from time until potatoes are brown on the sides and tender when poked with a knife, about 20 minutes.
- Adjust salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve immediately.

Did you add fresh dill and sour cream? I can’t wait to try this recipe. I live in Oregon and we love chanterelles.

Hi Kim! Yes, you can use sour cream for serving. This is optional though. Dill is also used for serving.
