Recipe report: Bill's chantarelles braised in cream
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 3:00 pmNow, mind you, that's not what he called it (I think there was something about sex in the name he used), but it would be the right name for the dish.
I decided to do this recipe because it dawned on me that this method would nail the mushroom dish I mentioned in another thread having had in Switzerland 20 years ago. It was my very first experience with chantarelles ever, and I have longed for that taste ever since. So I followed his instructions exactly, though I used just a scant teaspoon of masala curry seasoning as well. To serve, I folded the mixture inside buckwheat crepes that I'd just made and paired them with a a vegetable side dish of brussels sprouts roasted with lardons of bacon and whole cloves of garlic. A salad of fresh escarole, bibb lettuce and fresh mint in dijon vinaigrette started the meal, and a bottle of Copain pinot noir was our wine.
It was a perfect dinner straight out of a Paris bistro. Excellent. Thanks, Bill!
