Fricassee of Wild Mushrooms

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

14 ounces chanterelle mushrooms, tough ends of stems removed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
7 ounces blue foot or oyster mushrooms, tough ends of stems removed
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 ounces black trumpet mushrooms
6 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chervil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the chanterelles quickly with cold water (do not soak) in a colander, and dry thoroughly on paper towels. Wipe the other mushrooms with a damp paper towel, or if necessary, rinse with cold water and dry well on paper towels.

    Step 2

    In a large sauté pan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot; cook until the shallot begins to soften, about 1 minute. Add blue foot mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms wilt, about 4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

    Step 3

    Add the white wine, and cook until fully evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the black trumpet mushrooms, parsley, chives, chervil, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; cook until the mushrooms wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
