At over $30 a pound, the chanterelle is a special occasion mushroom that has earned the nickname 'queen of the woods'. In this elegant pan gravy, aromatics like shallot and tarragon build flavor, butter and flour add texture, and the sweetness of Madeira balances the mushrooms' umami. Ladle it liberally on your turkey, then on toasted sandwich bread topped with a poached egg the day after.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons raw hazelnuts
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 large shallots, sliced (about 1 cup)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds haricots verts (thin green beans), trimmed
3 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, tossing halfway through, until skins are splitting and nuts are fragrant, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to steam and cool, then rub the nuts with a kitchen towel to remove their skins. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and set aside.
  • In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add shallots and cook, tossing, until lightly golden and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and add 1/2 cup water, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper to the same pan. Add the haricots verts and toss to coat. Cover pan and cook, tossing occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove cover, raise heat to high and cook until the water evaporates and the beans are glazed, about 3 minutes more. Toss green beans with tarragon, lemon zest, hazelnuts, and sautéed shallots. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chanterelles and shallots will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Clean the chanterelles thoroughly: Chanterelles can be quite dirty, so it's important to clean them thoroughly before cooking. Use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris, and then rinse them well under cold water.
  • Cook the chanterelles until they are tender: Chanterelles should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chanterelles, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season the chanterelles to taste: Season the chanterelles with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the chanterelles immediately: Chanterelles are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Tarragon-scented chanterelles and shallots are a delicious and easy-to-make dish. With their earthy flavor and delicate aroma, chanterelles are a perfect ingredient for a variety of dishes. This recipe is a great way to enjoy the unique flavor of chanterelles, and it's sure to become a favorite in your household.
