Chanterelles!

I wandered to the farmer’s market today with the hope of trying out a couple of things and hopefully recreating the duck appetizer from the Little Owl. When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there is a chanterelle guy on Wednesdays. Perhaps I just don’t visit the market on Wednesday’s very often but the presence of this man and his moderately priced (compared to stores) delicious mushrooms made me extremely happy. After I meticulously cleaned each one with a toothbrush (using water eliminates part of their mushroomy goodness) here is what these little golden beauties looked like:




I now think I am going to use them in a duck breast salad with frisee, arugula, almonds, parmigiano and truffle vinaigrette.
