Directions
- sautee the chanterelles, onion and shallots in butter.
- add 1/2 cup flour and stir it in until thick and well blended
- whisk in 1 1/2 pints half and half, a little at a time to keep from lumping
- dilute with broth or sherry to desired consistency.
- add salt and pepper to taste.
Tips
- I usually just slice them up. Don't wash them though, because the water tends to disentegrate the mushroom meat.
- Sautee them dry first, and all the water will come out of them. You'll be surprised at how far down they cook. You start with a big pile of raw mushrooms and end up with a teeny pile of delicious cooked ones.
- You should be able to find some at a health store or a natural foods place.
