Over the weekend my sister and mom came up to NYC to visit me.
Julia (sister) brought me some chanterelles that my brother, Rob, and his girlfriend had foraged.
I didn’t take a picture before, but here is the after…
Simply roasted for 12 minutes at 450F. Drizzled with olive oil and some sea salt before roasting.
Yum yum.
This roasting method (evoo + sea salt, roast for 10-14 mins @ 450F depending on the mushroom) is my go-to recipe for all kinds of mushrooms.
Here are some mushrooms from another night (maitake on the upper left and beech -I think- on the right; these are organic and from a Japanese grocery store on 59th street).
Always delicious.
What’s your favorite way to have mushrooms? What’s your favorite mushroom?
I think my favorite kind of mushroom is maitake, prepared this way.
i love to sauteed them, with a bit of soy sauce and sugar.
Oooohh, those mushrooms look wonderful! I love mushrooms! Chanterelles are called “Pfifferlinge” in German, they’re considered a delicacy and therefore quite expensive ( 🙁 ) as mushrooms are in general, with exception of white button mushrooms I am not so fond of unfortunately. Maitake I’ve never seen around … I love shiitake and oyster mushrooms, the former I usually buy dried from the Asian food store and soka them in water before adding them to the dish.
@Kath: They are also a delicacy here and very expensive! ($30+/pound or so) Luckily my brother gave them to me for free.
I have not bought dried mushrooms recently- thank you for the reminder 🙂 They are much more affordable.
Hey NYC-ers,
I’m selling my brand new juicer on the cheap.

I really love eating mushrooms because of their natural elements, aside from improving the taste of my dishes greatly. You can actually eat them with simply added seasoning and a few minutes of stirring with ouster sauce…
