Before cooking, carefully sort and rinse the chanterelles, removing all dirt. Boil the chanterelles for 20-25 minutes after boiling water, over low heat under the lid. Salt the water lightly. It turns out very tasty when pure mushrooms are soaked for 1 hour in milk before cooking.
By the way, you don’t need to boil the chanterelles before frying, because when they are boiled, some of the mushroom flavor goes into the water, but boiled chanterelles after frying are much more tender.
After cooking, chanterelles can be additionally stewed in sour cream, fried in butter or vegetable oil with onions, cooked mushroom pate, or simply frozen and enjoyed mushrooms later in winter. Every time it turns out very tasty and interesting.
