Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 tbsp butter or olive oil for vegan option
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 lb golden chanterelle mushrooms cleaned and trimmed
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice optional

Equipment

1 Skillet (preferably cast iron)
1 Wooden spoon
1 Sharp knife

Method

Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until melted and lightly bubbling.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chanterelle mushrooms in a single layer. Let them sear undisturbed for 2–3 minutes.
Stir occasionally and cook for 10–12 more minutes, allowing excess moisture to evaporate and mushrooms to brown.
Season with salt and pepper. Finish with parsley and lemon juice if desired.
Serve warm as a side, on toast, or stirred into pasta or risotto.

Notes

For best results, brush mushrooms clean instead of rinsing them with water.
Don’t overcrowd the skillet, use two pans or cook in batches for better browning.
