How to Make Chanterelle Marsala Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  4. Add 8 ounces of chanterelle mushrooms (fresh or 1/4 cup dried, rehydrated) and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they release their liquid and begin to brown slightly.
  5. Carefully remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
  6. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in the skillet.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup Marsala wine (or a combination of Marsala and chicken broth) until smooth and fully incorporated.
  8. Return the mushrooms to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  9. Serve immediately over your favorite chicken or pasta dish.
