  4. Arrange the garlic and potato halves on the base of the baking dish. Add ½ cup of chicken stock.

Creamy chanterelles mushroom sauce:

  • Soak the chanterelles mushroom in 1 cup of very hot water for at least 1 hour or until mushroom softens.
  • Remove the mushroom and reserve the liquid.
  • Heat oil in heavy saucepan, add the shallots and sauté for about 3minutes. Add the mushroom liquid and chicken stock. Increase heat and let it boil for about 5 minutes. Add half of the softened mushroom and continue boiling until the liquid is reduced, add the cooking cream, butter and flour.
  • With a hand mixer, blend the mixture into a creamy sauce; add the remaining mushroom to the creamy sauce and simmer until the sauce thickens. Season.
