Mushrooms that successfully mimic the taste and look of chanterelle mushrooms:

• trumpet mushrooms
• cremini mushrooms
• shiitake mushrooms

Expert Chef Tips

• High heat is your friend - it prevents sogginess.
• Don't overcrowd the pan; mushrooms need space to brown.
• Add salt only after the mushrooms release their moisture.
• If they start steaming instead of browning, increase the heat.

Secrets From My Kitchen

• A tiny squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the entire dish.
• A pinch of nutmeg (just a whisper) adds warmth without being noticeable.
• Save the mushroom trimmings for stock - they're pure gold.

If the mushrooms need cleaning, it is best to do this with a small pastry brush. Do not wash them.
