The funnel chanterelles are already releasing the excess moisture, sizzling on the pan. I pour in a generous dollop of olive oil and a lump of butter. Next, I add some delicious garlic, some richly fragrant sage and a dash of salt. The only thing missing is a squeeze of lemon and I could &#8211; a secret between us &#8211; add a tiny pinch of sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/salme.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/olive-oil-968657_1280-1-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/salme.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/olive-oil-968657_1280-1-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/salme.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/olive-oil-968657_1280-1-1-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/salme.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/olive-oil-968657_1280-1-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pour my delicacy onto a blue-rimmed, deep plate, already full of steaming hot pasta.
