Morels and Chanterelles

I was at the local Whole Foods this Sunday and bought some chanterelles, today a friend brought me a pound of fresh morels. I was all set to cook the chanterelles this evening, any thoughts about cooking both mushrooms together? Will they clash or complement?

Mushrooms seem to always complement each other when mixed, I see no reason not to, but it could depend on your desired end result. Chantarelles stand up to longer cooking than do morels.

Thanks Jenise,
I was just apprehensive, they have a different taste and texture, and rather than tasting the best of both worlds, I was afraid they would detract from each other.
I have plenty of each so I will probably saute just a bit of each batch together; the chanterelles for a bit longer as you suggest. Hopefully that will work out.

I've cooked or sauteed them together many times and never had a problem as IMO they compliment each other in dishes.

Jacques, actually, I wasn't suggesting that the chantarelles be cooked longer, merely saying that they stand up to longer cooking (and stirring) than do the more fragile morels.

I love morels but they are so expensive!

I stuff mine with a sauteed concoction of italian sausage, shallot, garlic and blue cheese. Then bake until bubbly.

Thanks everyone, I will let you know how they come out. I intend to saute them together, add shallots and cream. Excited.

Sound great.
I often mix morels with cremini, to "stretch" them. Never combined with chanterelles. Sure it will be delicious.

Jacques,
let's talk on 15th about a morel co-op. Fairway charges nearly $70/lb for fresh morels. Much much cheaper from Oregon, but needs to be Fed Exed. Maybe a few of us could split a several pound order?

A friend has a chanterelle secret spot. He's talking about possibly moving, I already made it clear he has to show me the spot if so.

Well, it was delicious and a little went a long way. However, I frankly think chanterelles should be eaten on their own while morels,as Dale said, could be combined with other friendly mushrooms.
