Potato stew with chanterelles is a wonderful and very tasty dish that is quite easy to cook at home. To prepare it, you will need the simplest products and minimal culinary skills.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
If you collect the chanterelles yourself, do it away from the motorways. Ideally, in a forest located far from roads and large settlements.
In the event that you purchase mushrooms on the market, try to meet the following criteria:
- small or medium size;
- the fruiting body is elastic, the stalk is rather thick and not dense;
- the color is golden yellow;
- pleasant smell with fruity notes;
- the surface of the mushrooms is tender, without mucus.
Do not need to wash the chanterelles without the need, because they absorb moisture well and become watery. If the mushrooms are fresh and not cause concern, it is enough to sort them out and remove all the garbage.
It is better to choose a potato not too large in size, with an average starch content. Such potatoes are boiled in moderation, after cooking it will be quite crumbly, while retaining its shape. Such varieties as Picasso, Belarosa, Zhukovsky, Condor, etc. are suitable.
Chanterelle Potato Recipes
There are a huge variety of recipes for cooking, but we will present to your attention the two most popular: traditional and chicken. The first one will especially appeal to vegetarians, because potato with chanterelles has long been known as a traditional lean dish.
And the second method of preparation can be adapted to your own taste: for a dietary dish, take chicken breast, and if the extra calories do not scare you, drumsticks or carbonate are fine.
Important! Do not be afraid to confuse the false chanterelle with the real one - the false chanterelles have a darker, almost orange color, while the real chanterelle has a delicate golden color. In addition, the leg of the false chanterelle inside is hollow and thin, in contrast to the plump and full of pulp edible mushroom legs. And finally, the false gingerbread is a conditionally edible fungus, that is, the most serious consequences that can occur after its ingestion are ordinary indigestion.
