Yellow Chanterelle Mushrooms (Dried)

Yellow Chanterelle mushrooms have been given various names since their first documentation back in the late 18th century. They can commonly be called Golden Chanterelles and Girolles. Yellow Chanterelle mushrooms have a subtle balance of black pepper, butter, apricot, and earth notes. Their rich flavor pairs well with eggs and cream sauces. Chanterelles pair well with white wine and aromatic fresh herbs like thyme, tarragon, and chervil. Chanterelles are best served with poultry, fish or pork. The taste of red meat drowns out the delicate chanterelles flavor. Chanterelle mushrooms pair well with fish, steak, poultry, game, and savory vegetables. The simplest way to prepare them is simply to sauté them in a hot pan with a small amount of olive oil or white wine.

Yellow Chantarelles are a culinary delicacy and are high in antioxidants particularly ones that protect the liver and lymphatic system. They also help the immune system fight dangerous invasive fungi.
