Video – Foraging and Wild Chanterelle Bruschetta

Donna Fialkoff forages for chanterelle in the forests of northern Vermont and offers advice on how to find, store and prepare wild mushrooms.

Donna teaches that if you saute chanterelles in a little bit of butter and/or oil, water will cook out of them, concentrating their flavor. She suggests cooking them with bland staples like pasta, toast, rice or eggs. Don’t use too many flavorful herbs, because they can overpower the unique flavors of the mushrooms. You can also try this recipe with shiitakes.
