Miso Garlic Butter White Wine Chanterelle Cavatappi
Finished work early today, and was told the woods nearby had chanterelles. Well, 45 minutes later I left with this bountiful basket full!
- Cleaned and trimmed the chanterelles
- Tore and cut them into halves/thirds, left the small ones whole
- Dry saute (no butter or oil) to release their moisture, added sea salt once they started releasing lots of water. Boil slightly salted water on the side for pasta.
- Sautéd til all water was gone and they began to slightly crisp, stirring constantly as to not burn them.
- Add olive oil, reduce heat, let them fry a bit in that, continuing to stir. Add minced garlic and keep stirring (let garlic soften, don’t burn it or let it turn too brown) until fragrant and garlic looks soft and cooked. Add pasta to your boiling water on the side.
- Turn the heat up a tad. Deglaze with plenty of white wine. Cook and stir until the white has reduced and stuck to mushrooms
- Add about a cup of vegetable stock with a spoonful of miso paste dissolved into it, as well as plenty of thyme. Turn heat to high
- Add your undercooked pasta to the mushroom/brothy mix, and let the pasta finish cooking in the boiling mixture, stirring constantly. Add a generous amount of cold butter and stir til it’s all melted. The pasta should absorb the rest of the liquid and once you can pull your spoon through the bottom of the pan and see the bottom, remove from heat and serve
12/10 best mushroom dish I’ve ever had!
