Mushrooms Week

Week Nine

Oregon is home to some pretty fabulous fungi: hobbit-like morels, earthy porcinis, the elusive truffle. If you know what you’re looking for, a day in the forest during the fall can yield a bounty of wild mushrooms. This week we find mushroom-crazy chef Leather Storrs from Noble Rot among the firs in the foothills of Oregon’s Coast Range, sleuthing for chanterelles.

Featured Recipe:

Chanterelle Ragout

This dish is versatile. At Noble Rot we serve it under potato gnocchi and as a sauce for pasta. It would be a superb garnish for chicken or pork or mixed with some roasted potatoes and arugula in a warm salad.
