Latvian Potatoes with Chanterelle Sauce: Organic & Anti Inflammatory
Potatoes with Chanterelle Sauce-
(Kartupeļi ar gaileņu mērci)
Foraging for wild mushrooms and berries is very popular in Latvia. This dish is traditionally served with meat or boiled potatoes. In this Latvian plant based recipe, the wild mushrooms and vegan sour cream sauce are served with steamed potatoes. Steaming potatoes preserves more glucose than boiling them. Glucose is needed for optimum functioning of our organs.

Wild Mushroom Sauce with Potatoes (serves 3-4)
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
Avocado oil
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (wild, or store bought chanterelle, lions mane, or shitake)
2 tsp cassava flour
1/2 cup water, (adding more if needed)
1/3 cup Miyoko’s vegan sour cream
sea salt & pepper if desired
½ pound organic potatoes, chopped
½ tsp fresh wild ramps or sorrel
Recipe:
Add water to the bottom of a steamer and add chopped potatoes. Steam until soft and easily cut with a fork.
In a Dutch oven or stovetop pan, spray or coat with avocado oil and add diced onions with a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the onions are softened and look translucent.
Add the mushrooms and garlic and keep sautéing over medium heat for about 12 minutes, until the mushrooms are starting to brown. Sprinkle a little water in the pan if needed, to stop the veggies from sticking.
Add the cassava flour and 1/2 cup water. Stir the water and flour into the mushrooms. Cook on low for an extra 3-4 minutes until a thick gravy forms. Add extra water if needed. Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the 1/3 cup vegan sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over steamed potatoes. Serve hot and enjoy!
