Green Beans and Chanterelle Mushrooms

Green Beans and Chanterelle Mushrooms – rich, earthy and very meaty chanterelle mushrooms perfectly paired together with green beans, bacon and walnuts.

I can’t believe it’s Easter already, I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything. I haven’t even colored eggs. Oh well, it’s all good! And it’s snowing, yay, 2nd day in a row, but it’s two warm outside, because the snow isn’t really sticking to the ground, but it sure is trying!

As promised, here is this delicious green beans and chanterelle mushroom side dish, with bacon and walnuts nonetheless. The perfect accompaniment to a nice roasted leg of lamb.

I’ve been going to a new local grocery store and the one thing that keeps me going back there is the fact that they have chanterelle mushrooms. I absolutely love mushrooms, especially wild mushrooms like these chanterelle mushrooms. They’re earthy, meaty and just so yummy. I absolutely love them.

So this recipe has 2 of my favorite ingredients, chanterelle mushrooms and bacon. Oh how I’ve missed bacon, I feel like I haven’t had it in a while. And look at it, doesn’t it look purrty? Like candy!

If you can’t find chanterelle mushrooms, you can use plain mushrooms, no biggie, but if you can find them, I really think you should try them, they’re so much more flavorful than the usual white mushrooms, and so much more meatier and tastier.

And with recipe I leave you to enjoy your Easter, I sure hope you give this recipe a try, it’s such a great side dish.
