Ingredients

• 300 grams Fresh chanterelle mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Shallot
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 200 milliliters Vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
• 150 milliliters Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the chanterelle mushrooms thoroughly by brushing off any dirt. If needed, rinse them lightly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut larger mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, leaving smaller ones whole.

Step 2

Finely dice the shallot and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chanterelle mushrooms to the pan, and cook them for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to turn golden brown.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat them evenly, cooking for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 8

Gradually pour in the vegetable (or chicken) stock, stirring continuously to create a smooth sauce.

Step 9

Turn the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer the sauce gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken and develop a rich flavor.

Step 10

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 11

Remove the sauce from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve the Kanttarellikastike warm over mashed potatoes, grilled meat, fish, or pasta. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish!
