Chanterelles with Chestnuts and Wine
Serves 4 as a side dish
An elegant side dish to serve during the Christmas holidays when chanterelles and chestnuts are fresh on the West Coast. Serve with a prime rib roast.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan and cook the mushrooms for 10 minutes or until most of the liquid is released from them. Add the chestnuts and cook for 3 minutes. Add the dry sherry and Tabasco sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
