How to Make Kanttarellikastike Finnish Mushrooms

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and sauté until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 1 pound of fresh chanterelle mushrooms (or 8 ounces dried, rehydrated according to package directions) to the pan. Increase the heat to high and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mushrooms are browned.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of chicken or vegetable stock and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, or to taste). Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately over pasta, chicken, fish, or enjoy as a side dish with crusty bread.
