Wild mushrooms in general and particularly chantarelles lend themselves quite well to sauteing and can be used in pretty much any dish that calls for sauted mushrooms.

Rice affects my blood glucose the way pancake syrup would if I drank it straight from the bottle.

Maybe with some bacon and fried potatoes and onions. And an arugula salat.

The recipe is from the book "Pacific Feast" by Jennifer Hahn..

Here's the basics:

Sweat a diced onion in butter and olive oil (salt/pepper too of course)

Add chanterelles and sautee until they release their water and it reduces by half

Add 1 cup decent white wine, and pinch of tarragon. Reduce again by about half

Add 1 cup mushroom or veggie stock and 4 cups half & half. Simmer about 20 minutes

Blend with stick blender or carefully in food processer.

Serve in sourdough rounds.

I recently made an excellent cream of mushroom soup.

I don't generally like mushrooms due to the texture, but all blended up into a soup, it's heaven.
