Wild chanterelles from the Jutland forest sautéed in butter with thyme and shallots, served on toasted sourdough. The September chanterelle season is the annual peak of New Nordic cooking in Aarhus.
Wild chanterelle foraging from the beech forests of Jutland and the Mols Bjerge has been a Danish autumn tradition for centuries. The New Nordic movement of the 2010s elevated the chanterelle from a peasant find to a high-end ingredient; restaurants like Haervaerk, Substans and Domestic now build September menus around the season.
