Are you just as big of a chanterelle lover as I am? Im guess Im not the only one… and at least not in Sweden! Us Swedes really love chanterelle season indulging as much as we can while they’re here. This dish is a really classic Swedish dish, maybe not with the chanterelle topping but the Råraka/Hash Brown. Råraka is a dish that is one of our most beloved dishes that is usually served with Creme Fraiche, red onion and fish roe. But I wanted to make a råraka that was more fall inspired, making it suitable for cozy brunches or dinners! This dish is really easy to make, taste delicious and is the perfect dish to make for fall. Serve this råraka with Creme Fraiche and chanterelles as an appetizer, finger food, starter or for brunch/lunch. It is both vegetarian and gluten free.
A few tips:
- Make sure the pan is really hot before frying both the råraka and chanterelles. But you don’t want it to be on too high heat.
- The chanterelles have to fry until all the water has evaporated, then you can season it and fry it until it has some color.
- The råraka has to fry until it it golden brown on the first side. Don’t try to flip or check it before it has fried for 3-4 minutes on medium heat, otherwise it might break.
- I used a classic Swedish cheese named Västerbotten ost, if you can’t find it you can use parmesan cheese, gruyere or pecorino instead (or any other intense and flavorful cheese that you like).
- This dish should be served warm.
