The other day, Hal brought home a huge paper bag full of freshly foraged chanterelles. He got them from an alleged wild mushroom expert. I was a bit hesitant, but Hal assured me that his friend and his girlfriend have been eating them for the past week and have not died.
So he cleaned off the dirt and sauteed them in a butter and garlic sauce. Then drizzled the mixture over penne pasta and topped it off with grated parmesan. The golden chanterelles were meaty and earthy and divine. I never want to eat store-bought mushrooms again.
P.S. Yes, I know the shrooms in the photos aren't chanterelles. The photos were too pretty not to share.
