As a child I remember many types of mushroom stews especially with wild mushrooms. They were especially tasty but now almost impossible to find. Now the only available variety are champignons. As such, I welcomed finding a different type of mushrooms, interesting and yellow: chanterelles. This recipe is quite simple, basicaly a mushroom stew with some optional minced meat and served with pollenta.
