I might be a bit late with this, but as I'm typing this I know that Nijiya has fresh chanterelles back in stock.
It's been in stock much longer than in the previous 3 years. This year the Missus is enjoying Her chanterelles in a frittata.
I start the mushroom the usual way.
Then add 4 eggs at the end……
The Missus can eat this in one sitting! Amazing…..

So I was over at Catalina Offshore a couple of weeks back…..giving Tommy a hard time as usual. Anyway……while waiting for my salmon, Tommy pointed at some rather fragile looking, almost translucent pieces of fish and told me, "this is louvar….get it….you won't be sorry….." It seems that Louvar is a prized, but very rare catch, youfind it doing a Google search on "Cadillac of Fish". The fish just seemed like it was going to fall apart, but Tommy assured me that it firms up well when cooking. I decided to do a simple straight up saute……let sit in ginger and Shaoxing, simple season, dust with potato starch, then into the cast iron. It browned up really well….it was super moist, mildly sweet in flavor, super tender, so moist….sorry…..it as just so moist.
I should have taken more photos, but there's only one.
As with the King Clip and White Salmon Tommy comes through again!

Fall just might be my favorite time of the year…..the kale is growing like crazy and is less bitter…..
And garnished with some…ahem, Duck Confit and an easy over egg….man, this really is the "Breakfast of Champions".
I hope you're having a great week.
Thanks for reading!
yummy array of dishes!
Ymmmm, lots of butter with the chanterelles.
Thanks Kat!
Hi Billy – Lots of olive oil, shallots, garlic, and white wine!
looks awesome Kirk!
I’ve never had chanterelles, so now I want to go to Nijiya to get some and cook with eggs, too. How do the eggs end up – like a scramble or a frittata?
Everything looks amazing. Just as a heads up, Costco has been selling a pound of chanterelles in the produce area. We’ve bought them twice so far, so good.
Thanks Jack!
This time around it’s frittatas Sandy. But try them plain first….really great flavor and texture.
Thanks for the heads up Christina! Sounds like your really enjoying the mushrooms.
Kirk, just got back from a trip to Sweden and had Chanterelle soup twice in two days. Had a nice fish soup and several tasty, albeit pricey Swedish microbrews. I’d put it on the bucket list.
Sounds great Sang…Sweden is actually on our list for next year.
