Tarragon Scented Chanterelles And Shallots Recipes

HERBED VEAL CHOPS WITH BACON AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from the chops and season them lightly with pepper. Melt the 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 12 inch skillet. When melted add the bacon and saute for a few minutes or until somewhat crisp. If there is not enough fat in the skillet, then add more butter and heat up. Add the veal chops and saute them over high heat for 2 minutes a side, or just until browned. Lower the heat and continue to cook them uncovered and without liquid for another 5 to 7 minutes a side or until just cooked through.
• Remove the chops to a plate. Add the shallots to the skillet and saute until cooked through about 2 minutes. Add the lime juice, water and deglaze the pan. Add the herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the chops.

CHANTERELLE GRAVY WITH TARRAGON

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and mushrooms; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown in places, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Add wine and boil until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with flour; cook, stirring, until nutty and a golden-brown film forms on bottom of pan, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring a few times, until reduced and thickened slightly, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in tarragon and season with salt and white pepper. Serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. Rewarm in a saucepan over medium-low heat before using.

CALIFORNIA CHANTERELLES WITH GOAT CHEESE CROUTONS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chanterelles and season with salt and pepper. When the chanterelles begin to release moisture, add the shallots and cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook or they will become tough
• Transfer the chanterelles to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving the juices behind in the pan for drizzling. Stir the parsley into the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.
• Place croutons around the serving dish with the goat cheese end of the crouton facing outward. Put chanterelles in the center of the croutons and drizzle the mushroom liquid over top of the mushrooms.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat. Press the baguette slices into the melted butter. Once coated, place the baguette slices on a sheet pan. Sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan and herbs. Then sprinkle only the top half of the croutons with the goat cheese. Cook the croutons until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve with the mushrooms.
