- 2 tablespoons clarified butter or frying oil, or a mix of oil and regular butter
- 1 small/medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 pound (450g) chanterelle mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream 30-36%

Notes
- How to clean and dry the chanterelles: Rinse the mushroom thoroughly under water, then dry using a salad spinner or patting the mushroom gently with paper towels. You can also wash the chanterelles, leave them in the fridge overnight to dry out, and cook them the next day.
- If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, you can skip it altogether and add more lemon juice or add a splash of white wine (just after adding the garlic).
- Calories = 1 serving (1/2 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
- The most important tip for cooking chanterelle sauce is to not cook the mushrooms for too long. Chanterelle mushrooms cook very quickly and you want them to still have a little bit of crunch.
