Chanterelle mushrooms have a savory, earthy, slightly fruity flavor that pairs well with a variety of dishes. They have a gorgeous trumpet-like shape and are white to yellow when growing wild. Even dehydrated, they retain an attractive, flower-like shape, and they taste phenomenal. If you haven’t yet tried them, get ready to have your tastebuds dancing with delight! Listed below are 10 of our favorite recipes for using chanterelle mushrooms.
Chanterelle Mushroom Recipes
1. Chanterelle Toast
If you’re looking for a savory starter that you can whip up in 15 minutes or less, you must try this chanterelle toast. All you’ll need to make it are about two cups of chanterelles, some butter, salt, and heavy cream. Simply saute the mushrooms in butter, then add in the cream and salt, stirring gently. Once it’s ready, pile it high on top of your favorite thick, crusty bread. It’s so good and has such a rich, earthy flavor. If you’re using the toast as an appetizer, though, go easy. The chanterelle mushrooms are far more filling than you’d expect. Pro tip: If you’re a fan of steak and mushrooms, this topping also works well for that. I usually add a touch of garlic when I make it for steak, though.
2. Chanterelle Soup
This creamy, hearty soup takes only 15 minutes to make and is naturally vegan-friendly. Furthermore, despite its rich, complex flavor, you’ll only need eight ingredients to make it. The sage, thyme, onions, and garlic add a touch of herby deliciousness, but the chanterelle mushrooms and coconut milk balance that out nicely with a subtle sweetness that’ll linger on your tongue. This warm treat will have you feeling all cozy inside. Serve with a side of bread at your next dinner party!
3. Chanterelle Risotto
There’s something special about a dish that’s made with love, and that’s definitely the case with this chanterelle risotto. It’s the perfect meal to make for your loved ones, and they’re sure to appreciate the time and effort you put into it. With its earthy flavor and delicate texture, chanterelle mushrooms are the perfect addition to this classic Italian dish. The earthy, nutty flavor of the chanterelles pair perfectly with the creamy rice, and the result is a dish that’s luxurious and comforting all at once. You’ll season the risotto with shallots, thyme, garlic, and other spices, and the buttery base of white wine and chicken stock is unbelievably good. Add to that the chanterelles, sweet corn kernels, and cheese, and you’ll have a tasty, aromatic dish that’ll have people salivating from two houses away.
4. Bavarian Chanterelle Mushrooms with Bacon
You can whip up this five-ingredient meal in less than 30 minutes. It’s the perfect low-calorie and low-carb dinner when you’re looking for something quick and easy. The taste is a bit milder than some of the other options on the list, but it has all the flavor it needs between the butter, bacon, and beautiful chanterelle mushrooms. If you have someone in your family who’s a “steak-n-onions” person, this dish should really appeal to them. Even though there’s no steak, that’s kind of what it tastes like.
5. Chanterelle Mushrooms with Cream and Parmesan
A warm, creamy pasta all-in-one meal that’s ready in only 30 minutes? How can anyone say no to that?! This recipe makes enough to feed the whole family, and since it’s incredibly good and vegetarian-friendly, the whole family will probably even enjoy it – no matter their dietary needs. It requires only six ingredients to make, and two of them are butter and cheese, so you know already that it’s going to be phenomenal. The heavy whipping cream makes the sauce thick and creamy, and the garlic and mushrooms bring the flavor. Chanterelle mushroom pasta is one family dinner you won’t want to miss.
6. Chanterelle Mushroom Goulash
This thick, chunky goulash is a lot like beef stew, only without the beef. By contrast, it’s actually vegan-friendly. Between the mushrooms and the soy chunks, it’s hard to tell, though. Chanterelle goulash may not be as full of fat, meat, and protein as beef stew, but it’s incredibly filling and perfect for a cold winter’s night. It has a spicy, earthy, almost wild flavor that’ll have you picturing camping trips in the woods and wild game from the forest. This hearty dinner is an extra special seasonal treat for your taste buds.
7. Shiitake and Chanterelle Pizza with Goat Cheese
I actually made this pizza just the other night, and it was the first time I’d ever tried it. It was phenomenal! It’s cheesy, slightly tangy from the goat cheese, herb-y, earthy, and so good. If you’ve ever had a spinach and mushroom white pizza, that’s kind of how this tastes. But this is so much better. I love spinach and mushroom white pizzas, but this one might be the best pizza I’ve ever tasted.
8. Chanterelle Mushroom Croustade
Chanterelle mushroom croustade sounds so exotic and incredible. But if you check out the actual recipe, the notation in parentheses gives this dish away by asserting that it’s really just a “melty sandwich.” I would argue that it’s an insanely delicious, hard-to-put-down melty sandwich. It’s buttery, cheesy, and fantastic. It’s also vegetarian-friendly, and the bread is delightfully crunchy. In short, there’s a lot to love about this particular “melty sandwich.”
9. Chanterelle Mushrooms and Potatoes
To have fewer than 10 ingredients, this single-pan stove-top delight has a ton of wild, earthy, and herby flavor. If you’re looking for a hearty meal that’ll fill you up and keep you full for hours, this is the mushroom dish you want. With thick, starchy potato chunks, rich, peppery chanterelles, and both green and white onions, this dish is definitely one that’ll warm you up on a cold night.
10. Chanterelle Mushroom Crostini
If you enjoy dishes that have a wide variety of contrasting flavors and textures, you’ll love chanterelle mushroom crostini. The mushrooms and sauce are smooth and creamy, but the bread is thick, crusty, and toasted for crunch. There’s a definite savory quality to the mushrooms, garlic, and herbs, but the honey also adds a touch of sweetness. There’s even a slight bit of tang from the ricotta. Everything about this recipe is a study in contrasts, and that’s what makes it so perfect. It’s also quite pretty – the chanterelles hold their flower-like shape well, and the brown, white, and green colors are very earthy and attractive. Click on a star to rate it!
