Can You Freeze Raw Chanterelles?
2. Freeze: You can store chanterelles in the freezer. First, remove some of their water by dry sautéing the chanterelles in a frying pan on the stove on medium-high heat. Cook the chanterelles for five to ten minutes until they release their juices and shrivel slightly.
What is the best way to freeze chanterelles?
To freeze chanterelles successfully, cook them in some oil or butter, allow them to cool then flash freeze on a baking tray. Once solid, tip into a freezer bag and store in the freezer.
How do you store fresh picked chanterelles?
Chanterelles keep best in the refrigerator in a sealed plastic container. Use paper towels to prevent the mushrooms from touching plastic. Change the paper towels when they become wet from condensation. The total time you can store chanterelles varies, depending on the condition of the mushrooms when they were picked.
How do you use frozen chanterelles?
Frozen chanterelles can be thawed and cooked as you would fresh chanterelles. Golden chanterelles’ firm, chewy texture holds up well when simply sautéed with butter and herbs or added to soups, stews, nutty grain dishes, and fowl and game dishes.
How do you wash and store chanterelles?
The edges are delicate and a heavy stream of water can damage them. After rinsing, I like to use a soft-bristle toothbrush to remove any grit stuck inside the ridges and then give them a quick rinse again. To dry, I blot them with a paper towel carefully and let them air dry until they’re ready to cook.
