I've had an abundance of chanterelles recently and decided to share what I've been doing with them.

Chanterelles in saucepan

Cooking chanterelles is easy, I start by tearing them into evenly sized strips (they're stringy like chicken) and throwing them in a saucepan by themselves to boil off all the water. (Adding a bit of water at the start to cover the bottom of the pan lets you start it on high heat without burning them)

While the water boils off I start making Mexican yellow rice to serve on the side. I don't have fancy ingredients like saffron but turmeric, cumin, garlic, oregano, and a chicken stock cube gets the job done for me.

When the chanterelles are ready I add a bit of oil with onions and poblano peppers cut into strips, and season with cayenne pepper, cumin, garlic, and paprika (salt and pepper to taste). Cook that on high heat and stir until the texture of the veggies is just right. I stop stirring and let it burn a little while melting some cheese on top at the end.

And here is the result:

Chanterelle Fajitas

You can get some tortillas or just eat it as-is, it's delicious either way. Goes well with salsa or hot sauce. I've made this probably 5 or 6 times in the past month because I keep finding more chanterelles and I will never get bored of it.

Still would love to hear some more ideas on how to cook chanterelles, because I will probably find even more soon lol.

I can't remember what we found, but we concluded from various cutting/bruising and reading through pages and pages of mushroom keys that none of them were sadly edible.

Still fun morning though!

I have long thought the birds were beating me to the ripe currants we pass on our morning hike. But yesterday I was close enough to my dog to catch her foraging them!

I have suspected her foraging for a few weeks, I was visiting my sister on our family farm, there are wild wolf berries (goji) between her house and the farm house. And she saw the dog eating berries off the bushes.

There were some good ones this morning.
