Chanterelle Shrimp Pie
This is a variation yesterday, of Jack's superb Crawfish Chanterelle Pie he shared 3-4 years ago.
First: Chanterelles, enough to be choosey.

Chanterelle, Corn & Yellow Wax Bean Chowder
I've made this every year for 6 years and twice each year, the last three years.

Three main ingredients.
Dish Food Cuisine Ingredient Produce


The soup was a basic chicken stock with cream added at the end. 1/2 cup of white wine, onions, garlic. The Chanterelles were sauteed till they started to carmelize.

Chanterelle Shrimp Linguini
(This is a repost of earlier this year that was deleted)

Simple ingredients.
Food Dish Cuisine Ingredient Shrimp


I chose to saute the chanterelles and prep the cream sauce separately form cooking the shrimp. Last time I did this recipe, I thought the Shrimp overpowered the Chanterelles and cream sauce.
Dish Food Cuisine Ingredient Vegetarian food


So I added the Shrimp on the plate, cooked separately and was pleased with how they worked together - being complimentary.

Chanterelle Pea Curry

Chanterelles drying in the sun.


Cuisine Food Dish Plant


While the original recipe called for 12 different spices -- they amounted to being a Curry blend and I use Penzy's Sweet Curry which has no real Heat to it, yet lots of complexity.

The unique item above, center bottom was Cashew Butter which I had and substituted for the Cashews which the recipe called for.
To me it was a complex yet satisfying taste -- served over rice.

Chanterelle Vodka

Here, I've tried fresh and dried and I personally like using dried as I believe the flavor becomes more concentrated. So, I watch for Chanterelles with especially floral, apricot aroma, dry them and use them.

Chanterelle Martini.
It took quite some experimenting (hick!!) to get the right flavor strength. The strength was quickly overpowering. So this goes back into how much is put into the Vodka to steep, to begin with.

jg - Looks great . . . and I'm drinking a cold one as I write this. I have to admit that I've never had battered smelt. In the last year, I've seen them frozen in bags in a local grocery store, not fresh, though.

I hope those who posted on the previous Dinner Plate Page choose to contribute to this new one. Thanks for your contribution.

Whoaaa! The Scallops have a great sear and look sumptous with the candied Chanterelles on them. Thanks for sharing, Jack!!

Will you share the recipe for how you did the candy caps that you put on top of the pudding. Are you using "candy cap mushrooms" or Chanterelles as a substitute? or putting candied Chants on top of a "candy cap mushroom pudding"?

Candy cap as in: Lactarius -- L camphoratus, L rubidus, L fragilis varieties ?
I've read that Candy Caps are sweeter after drying. Is this what you do?
Thanks!

sb, Candy Caps don't grow here so I bought some on line. They were L. rubidus. I just used a simple Cornstarch Pudding recipe : 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup white sugar, 3 tab.spoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon butter. Heat milk till bubbles form on the edge of the pan. In a bowl combine sugar, cornstarch and salt and powdered Candy Caps [ about 2 or 3 dried caps ] ( I smash and grind them between 2 spoons ) Pour into hot milk a little at a time till mixture thickens. Do not boil.Remove from heat, stir in butter & vanilla. Pour into serving dishes and cool. I put plastic wrap over each bowl so a skin doesn't form on the pudding as it cools. Before serving sprinkle Candied Chanterelles over pudding.
