Some grated parmesan cheese on top of the sauce for extra flavor
Chopped fresh parsley or dill can be added on top of the sauce as a garnish.
Add a small piece (~1 tbsp.) of butter at the step of frying onions and mushrooms
Instructions
Clean the chanterelles of excess soil or dirt and rinse them lightly under cold water.
Cut the larger chanterelle mushrooms into half or four smaller pieces, the smaller ones can remain uncut. Chop the onion and parsley and cut the ham into small cubes. Be sure to keep and use the fatty part of the ham, as it only gives more flavor to the sauce when fried.
Add a little olive oil to the pan and cook the ham pieces over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until they become slightly brown and crispy.
Add chopped onions and the chanterelle mushrooms to the pan, add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste and fry until the liquid from the mushrooms and onions has evaporated and the mushrooms and onions are slightly caramelized.
Add the cooking cream and chopped parsley to the cooked ingredients. Stir the sauce until the ingredients are evenly mixed and turn the heat to low and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes while occasionally stirring the sauce.
Serve the chanterelle mushroom sauce with your favorite side dish. For garnish, I recommend adding fresh chopped parsley or dill and some grated parmesan on top of the sauce. Great option is serving the sauce together with boiled fresh potatoes and 1-3 day marinated pickles. The sauce is also perfect mixed with your favorite cooked pasta.
