Chanterelles With Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Recipe - Cooking Index
Served on toasted rounds of French bread with a cold white wine, this is an absolutely spectacular appetizer. While it doesn't take long to prepare, the secret is in using fine quality ingredients. Don't try to save money by using anything but a fine quality, extra-virgin olive oil. Don't use old, stale mushrooms, and don't use anything but fine quality sun dried tomatoes. The bread is important, too. It should have a very crusty exterior, and a light, flavorful interior.
Type: Vegetables| 1 | Yellow onion (large) | |
| 2 teaspoons | 10ml | Extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Fresh chanterelles - cleaned, trimmed |
| 2 oz | 56g | Dry white wine - divided |
| 3 oz | 85g | Pitted black olives |
| 2 | Garlic cloves - (to 3) | |
| 1 oz | 28g | Marsala |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Tamari |
| 6 tablespoons | 90ml | Sundried tomato pesto |
| French bread rounds | ||
| Freshly-grated Parmesan |
Chop the onion into small pieces and preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to the skillet, then add the onions, reduce the heat to medium, and saute. Add the wine as the onions begin to stick. Peel and mince the garlic.
After the onions have cooked for about 30 minutes they should be at least partially caramelized. Add the garlic to the onions, mix in the mushrooms, add a splash of wine, and stir frequently. The mushrooms should begin to release their moisture after just a few minutes of cooking. If the liquid builds up more than a half-inch or so in the pan, pour off the excess liquid, reserving it for later. Simmer for about ten minutes.
Add the olives and one ounce of the Marsala. If there's extra chanterelle liquid, add it back in at this time. Cover and cook for about five additional minutes. Check to be sure everything is tender. Add the tamari and the pesto. Mix well and serve over small rounds of French bread. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
