Hi,
i recently went mushroom hunting and picked some lovely
ceps and chanterell have you got any original recipes for me?

Im no expert but i like to bake my mushrooms. squeeze half a lemon over them, drizzle olive oil then an equal amount of balsamic vinegar, add salt, pepper and a couple of garlic cloves and bake in the oven. leave them in until they are nice and juicy, the time depends on their size, for a large mushroom id leave it for 20 mins or so on about 200. i sometimes like to finish them with a bit of blue cheese, but they go well with most meals. hope this helps

I found this recipe and think it sounds just fab!

Greek Mushroom Toast: With Chanterelle Mushrooms

You will need two slices of toast, preferably fresh bread, either wholemeal or granary and of a good quality. For the recipe itself you will need:

Approx one handful of chopped chanterelle mushrooms
1-2 cloves of garlic, depending on taste
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of white wine
1 free range egg
Vegetable oil

Lightly fry the mushrooms, along with the chopped garlic in the olive oil. The oil mustn’t be too hot and the mushrooms will take around five minutes or so to cook. Then add the wine and let the dish simmer for about a minute. Whilst this is simmering fry the egg in the vegetable oil (for how long is up to you, dependent on taste). Take your toast; serve the mushrooms on top of the toast and then finish off with the egg on top. This may sound simple, but the combination of the oil, white wine and garlic, along with the texture of the chanterelle mushrooms, project this into another class of cuisine. It is absolutely delicious.

im going to have to give this a go!

I know how to make a lovely mushroom sauce. It works well as a sauce for a nice piece of meat (chicken, steak, even lamb and pork) but also with pasta. Its quick and easy to.

Fry the mushrooms with some butter until soft, drain most of the butter, then pour in some chicken stock and a drop of white wine. leave to reduce for a few minutes. then season with salt and pepper and add a bit of cream, or if you want to be healthy natural yoghurt. leave to further reduce for a few minutes. Then its done and makes a delicious dinner!
