Gold Chanterelles with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
Recipe courtesy Charmoon Richardson

Ingredients
1 large onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound fresh chanterelles
1 ounces dry white wine, plus 1 ounce
1 large red bell pepper
3 ounces pitted, brined, black olives
2 to 3 cloves garlic
1 ounce Marsala
1 teaspoon tamari
6 tablespoons sundried tomato pesto, or approximately 1/3 cup rehydrated sundried
tomatoes

French bread rounds
Grated Parmesan

Directions
Chop the onion into small pieces. Preheat pan or
skillet, add 2 teaspoons olive oil to heat, add onions, and begin to saute. While
onions are cooking, clean the chanterelles (preferably without water, by using a
brush, paring knife, and damp cloth), and cut into small pieces.

Keep an eye on the onions, adding 1 ounce of wine as they begin to stick. Clean
and chop the pepper, drain, rinse, and chop the olives and peel and chop (or use
press) the garlic.

After about 1/2 hour of cooking, the onions will be partially caramelized. Add the

garlic to the onions, then mix in the chanterelles, with a splash of wine. Stir
the mushrooms frequently. They should begin to release their own natural moisture
into the pan after a few minutes of cooking. If the liquid builds up more than 1/2
inch in the pan, carefully pour off the excess liquid, reserving it for later use.
Simmer for about 10 minutes, then add the pepper and olives and 1 ounce of
marsala. If there's extra chanterelle liquid, add it back at this time. Cover and
simmer another 5 minutes. Everything should be tender. Add tamari and sun dried
tomato pesto, mix well, and serve over small French bread rounds. Garnish with
grated Parmesan.
