Sherried Leek and Wild Chanterelle Gravy
Serves: 8
Wild, Northwest-grown chanterelles cook down to make a rich, delectable gravy that has everyone from vegetarians to meat-eaters gobbling it up. Goldie recommends doubling the amount of gravy you normally serve, as this particular sauce equally is at home atop stuffed winter squash as it is with turkey.
