Chanterelles and Caramelized Onions

Striped hero element Curved white cut-off hero element

 

Tender texture and delicious flavor are characteristics chanterelles are known for! They're wonderful sautéed in butter with onions, garlic and finished with a dollop of sour cream. Dried Chanterelles capture and preserve the delicate flavor and tender texture of this popular wild mushroom. They’re funnel-shaped and pale gold in color. Their peppery flavor and sweet smell remind many of apricots.
