Step-by-step
- Check the teals for any feathers that need removing.
- Fill the sink with slightly tepid water, drop in the chanterelles and spin them around for a minute. Remove and drain in a colander placed over a bowl, then spread them out on a tea towel to dry them out slightly. Pick over the chanterelles, pulling off and discarding any stalks that are dirty.
- Peel the garlic. Peel the shallots and slice into thin rings. Pick the leaves from the thyme.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
- Season the teals well with salt and pepper. Heat an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Splash in some vegetable oil and brown the teals all over, then remove from the pan.
- Add half of the butter to the pan with the chanterelles and the whole garlic clove. Cook for 1 minute, then add the sliced shallots and cook for a further 2 minutes before placing the birds breast-side up on top. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 8 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the birds to rest for 5 minutes, then lift them out of the pan and discard the garlic.
- Tip the contents of the frying pan into a small saucepan, add the stock and the remaining butter and bring to the boil.
- Meanwhile put the cream into a bowl with the thyme leaves and seasoning and whisk just until the cream is firm enough to spoon out. Remove the breasts and legs from the birds and keep warm.
- To serve, pour the chanterelles and broth into 4 bowls. Place the teal breasts and legs on top and spoon over the cream.
