Yellowfoot chanterelles, also known as winter chanterelles, have a delicate flavor that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Here's a simple and delicious recipe to highlight their unique taste:

Yellowfoot Chanterelle Pasta

Ingredients

  • 250g yellowfoot chanterelles, cleaned and trimmed
  • 250g pasta (Our Truffle tagleatelle works pretty well)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Directions

    Prepare the Yellowfoot Chanterelles:

    1. Clean the yellowfoot chanterelles by gently brushing off any dirt or debris with a soft brush or cloth. Trim the ends if necessary. Avoid washing them as they can absorb water.

    Cook the Pasta:

    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions around 8 min until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

    Saute the Aromatics:

    1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallot to the skillet and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

    Cook the Yellowfoot Chanterelles:

    1. Add the cleaned yellowfoot chanterelles to the skillet with the garlic and shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

    Combine Pasta and Yellowfoot Chanterelles:

    1. Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the mushrooms. Toss everything together gently, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce and help it coat the pasta evenly.

    Season and Serve:

    1. Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.

    Enjoy!
