Ingredients

  • 18 oz fresh chanterelles or girolles
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 2 oz unsalted butter
  • 3 shallots peeled and chopped
  • 6 sprigs of fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove peeled and crushed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Trim and lightly wash the mushrooms or simply wipe them off with a paper towel.
  • Warm the pan to medium-high and add about a tablespoon of water. Add the mushrooms and cook them for several minutes to allow the water naturally in the mushrooms to escape. Do not stir often to let the mushrooms begin to brown up a little.
  • Now add the lemon juice and cook stirring the mushrooms for a couple of minutes to absorb the lemon juice.
  • Add the butter to the pan, and brown the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes over a moderate heat, stirring frequently, but carefully to not damage the mushrooms using a wooden spatula.
  • Add the shallots and parsley, along with the garlic. Season with salt pepper. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.

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.
