Fresh fried mushrooms

[the lackster]

I fried up some of of my leftover chanterelles from yesterday. Chopped and lightly sautéed all the ones I'm going to freeze but I had a hankering for some fried mushrooms for lunch.
I took some of the sautéed ones and tossed them in a seasoned 3:1 cornmeal to all purpose flour mix. Fried them in the iron skillet and oh my word were they good! Also have some very concentrated broth for future gravy and soups.

Yum! I have a bag of chanterelles to dry fry tonight. They've been growing like crazy at the house. There are 4 different patches with at least a hundred shoots total. I cut about 20 but they're easily a couple of pounds uncooked.

They are out in full force this year!

I have them a good soak in cold water and rinsed off the dirt. Some still held a little so I brushed it off.

I use the sprayer in the kitchen sink. It's a little easier to back down then a hose. Apart from that some people soak them in salt water, supposed to force out any potential bugs.
